Good day,

ZANOG is busy setting up a community mirror for ZA (South Africa https://nog.net.za/mirrors/ )

Reason is the CDN sometimes resolves to NA, even when the fr.cdn.proxmox.com is the closer one, but still, EU traffic isn't always so nice and fast either and I'm also getting hit by the downloads for the ISOs every so often.

  • best method(s) to mirror the repos for local community ZA usage?
    • using debmirror seems to work, but that excludes the ISO and LXC container images - how should we mirror those?
  • I'm willing to provide a VM+ IP space for ProxMox to run/setup a ZA mirror if there is anything extra that would be needed for the ZA community


Code:
host download.proxmox.com; sudo mtr -wbc 10 -f 4 download.cdn.proxmox.com;sudo mtr -wbc 10 -f 4 fr.cdn.proxmox.com
download.proxmox.com is an alias for download.cdn.proxmox.com.
download.cdn.proxmox.com is an alias for us.na.cdn.proxmox.com.
us.na.cdn.proxmox.com is an alias for na.cdn.proxmox.com.
na.cdn.proxmox.com has address 66.70.154.82
na.cdn.proxmox.com has IPv6 address 2607:5300:400:7d00::80
