For a country mirror, which will manage several Gb/s traffic, it is important to manage disk I/O: A SSD 2TB on a small Xeon server, with 16GB of RAM will suffice for a traffic of 10 Gb/s in peak. I use Apache2.4, with MPM event. 2) Is it possible to host some releases like only 12, 14, 16 versions instead of all. A country mirror must offer all distributions, otherwise an update 16.04 => 16.10 will be defeated. 3) If I have created complete mirror and in-case in future any release have been removed then how can I remove it from my mirror. Rsync automatically deletes older distributions. Currently there: - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (The Precise Pangolin) - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (The Trusty Tahr) - Ubuntu 15.04 (The Vivid Vervet) That will soon be deleted. - Ubuntu 15.10 (The Wily Werewolf) - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (The Xenial Xerus) - Ubuntu 16.10 (The Yakkety Yak) - Ubuntu 17.04(The Zesty Zapus).

In my experience some leeway is needed since most utilities will invoke rsync with the "--delete-after" option, meaning the deletion of outdated packages only happens after all the new ones are synced. I would therefore follow Vivien in suggesting 2Tb disks. Should you only have fewer resources available - did you consider running a caching proxy instead of a full mirror? It is by far the most deployed solution if you don't want to run a mirror for i.e. a full country. I suggest having a look at the squid-deb-proxy package for example. Hope this helps, - Chris On Wed, Oct 26, 2016 at 9:57 AM, Vivien GUEANT - LaFibre.info <<a href="mailto:redaction@lafibre.info">redaction@lafibre.info</a>> wrote: > Hi, (excuse my poor english) > > 1) What are the requirements of hosting a Ubuntu Mirror. > > For a country mirror, which will manage several Gb/s traffic, it is > important to manage disk I/O: A SSD 2TB on a small Xeon server, with 16GB of > RAM will suffice for a traffic of 10 Gb/s in peak. > I use Apache2.4, with MPM event. > > 2) Is it possible to host some releases like only 12, 14, 16 versions > instead of all. > > A country mirror must offer all distributions, otherwise an update 16.04 => > 16.10 will be defeated. > > > 3) If I have created complete mirror and in-case in future any release have > been removed then how can I remove it from my mirror. > > Rsync automatically deletes older distributions. > > Currently there: > - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (The Precise Pangolin) > - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (The Trusty Tahr) > - Ubuntu 15.04 (The Vivid Vervet) That will soon be deleted. > - Ubuntu 15.10 (The Wily Werewolf) > - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (The Xenial Xerus) > - Ubuntu 16.10 (The Yakkety Yak) > - Ubuntu 17.04 (The Zesty Zapus). > > Vivien > > Le 26/10/2016 ? 06:38, Srikanth Chandika a ?crit : > > Hi, > > I want some inputs regarding hosting a Ubuntu Mirror. > > 1) What are the requirements of hosting a Ubuntu Mirror. > 2) Is it possible to host some releases like only 12, 14, 16 versions > instead of all. > 3) If I have created complete mirror and in-case in future any release have > been removed then how can I remove it from my mirror. > > Regards, > Srikanth Chandika > > > > > -- > ubuntu-mirrors mailing list > <a href="mailto:ubuntu-mirrors@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-mirrors@lists.ubuntu.com</a> > <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mirrors" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mirrors</a> > ------------------------------ -- ubuntu-mirrors mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-mirrors@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-mirrors@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mirrors" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mirrors</a> End of ubuntu-mirrors Digest, Vol 83, Issue 5 ********************************************* </blockquote></div> </div>
