You’re right, we’re not going to push it to make it official. It will a free 
hosted service that we (ShapeBlue) build and manage for our use-cases, at the 
same time we offer it publicly, claim to be reliable, trustworthy and good 
citizens, and maintain relevant information (such as release notes, information 
on builds etc) for the benefit of CloudStack users.

That's very nice and certainly needed, but it may be a problem - i.e. a 
commercial entity distributing Cloudstack binaries, depending on the 
bureaucracy at the moment, it could be at best an unofficial solution. /imho

Re: CloudStack Mirrors

[Rohit Yadav]

Hi,

We think one issue with current CloudStack repositories and hosting locations 
are that they are not very informative about what tag/commit was used to build 
the deb/rpms, systemvmtemplate etc and if they are oss or non-oss/noredist or 
if they were patched or built out of official CloudStack releases, and they may 
not host all the artifacts (templates, debs, rpms) since 4.0.

ShapeBlue has a product patching service for their customers so we invested 
some time in last few weeks to build the infrastructure to solve these issues. 
To host this publicly for everyone (and yes including the patch repositories, 
since we try to do most of our work upstream and share our branches publicly 
https://github.com/shapeblue/cloudstack), we’re working on having a dedicated 
site/page that holds release notes and relevant information of all the things 
that we’ll host. The infrastructure is reliable and pretty fast, soon we’ll be 
able to add more nodes in other geographic locations and make it public.

Re: CloudStack Mirrors

[Nux!]

302 redirects could still point you to the slow mirror, so the problem exists.

Libreoffice still uses Mirrorbrain and it does do a good job (it looks at 
geoip, AS numbers etc), but I think it would be overkill for such a small 
project.
sf.net is an option, though I don't think it has a bright future (or one at all 
for that matter, the present is not too great either), but definitely something 
to try.

Typically the mirroring people use 302 redirects rather than DNS magic.

Basically, to do it right, I think we should choose one route of

1. use existing apache mirror infrastructure
* discuss with infrastructure@ the sanity of hosting systemvms on the existing 
mirrors, if ok, @see
  http://www.apache.org/info/how-to-mirror.html
  http://people.apache.org/~bodewig/mirror.html
  http://www.apache.org/dev/mirrors.html
  http://www.apache.org/dev/release-download-pages
* release systemvms as actual/official apache artifacts
* create a custom version of dyn.cgi/download.cgi if/as needed
* update scripts to point at that CGI, i.e.
  
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/cloudstack/releases/4.4.1/systemvm/systemvm-4.4.1.xen.bz2

2. use existing sourceforge mirror infrastructure 
* release systemvms as semi-official binaries built from apache source
* create a project on sourceforge
* use the sourceforge mirror infrastructure
* example of apache project doing this
  http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/
* update scripts to point at that magic, i.e.
  curl -o systemvm-4.4.1.xen.bz2 -L 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cloudstack.mirror/files/4.4.1/systemvm/systemvm-4.4.1.xen.bz2/download
* tell infrastructure@ we are doing this just so they’re aware of the need and 
how we addressed it

The problem with using the apache mirrors is that traditionally apache promises 
to keep the total repo somewhat size-limited. Lot of sites mirror apache (and 
fsf) because its 50GB or so, as opposed to the 100s of GBs you need to be a 
source forge or linux mirror.

The OpenOffice approach is interesting because before becoming an apache 
project they had huge mirror infrastructure (built with mirrorbrain), some of 
which actually migrated to apache hardware IIRC with quite a bit of invested 
effort, but now it seems they abandoned that, and are just using sourceforge. 
So I suggest learning their lessons and doing the same.

All the people around the world providing mirroring for open source projects 
will probably appreciate not having another thing to configure :)


cheers,


Leo

Re: CloudStack Mirrors

[Nux!]

I think that would overcomplicate things and introduce a single point of 
failure while not necessarily solving the problem
(RR DNS could still offer the "slow" site to a client).
IMHO leave it as it is and perhaps make people aware that there are mirrors 
available so they can advise on the lists and so on.

Re: CloudStack Mirrors

I'm not familiar with Apache policies in this regard, but is there any way
we could establish a set of official / supported mirrors that all answer on
the same DNS address?
I.e. so that we only have to document one url

There's a mirror at http://mirrors.coreix.net/cloudstack.apt-get.eu/ as well.

Hi Mo,

I'm downloading from http://cloudstack.apt-get.eu/systemvm/4.4/

Its pretty fast, can grab the systemvm in about 1 minute.

The citrix guys have some on http://download.cloud.com/ as well.

Hope this helps,

repo server?



No problem! I think rsync would be the best way to go here? Problem is
however, I've never set up a rsync daemon or such.



So, I've managed to set up a rsync daemon. Appears it is very easy.

$ rsync -avr --stats --progress cloudstack.apt-get.eu::cloudstack/ubuntu .

That should get you all the deb packages

$ rsync -avr --stats --progress cloudstack.apt-get.eu::cloudstack/rhel .

That should get all the RPM packages.

I'll update the README file later: http://cloudstack.apt-get.eu/README

Is there any plan to make use of mirrors for folks downloading /

Wido, what do you think about adding a mirror or two from your RPM / DEB
repo server?

Agreed, today alone; I am doing another fresh install for some of the RPMs it took 14 minutes. Where others took what appeared seconds. On Jul 09, 2013, at 09:32 PM, Kelly Hair  wrote:That would seem to make sense.

That would seem to make sense. Great for redundancy, and if the mirrors are
on multiple continents then it should help with any bandwidth starved
downloaders.
