Howdy and thanks for the mirror! It looks like the sync is incomplete - I'm only seeing a directory for 9. Is content still syncing in? |
|
Hi @jonathanspw, thanks for the review! Yes, we're currently syncing AlmaLinux 9 only (x86_64) as that's the latest major release. We have 2TB disk and are focused on current releases to keep it lean. Happy to add 8 if needed — would you prefer we include both 8 and 9? |
|
Hi @jonathanspw, just following up — we're happy to add AlmaLinux 8 as well if that's needed for the listing. Let us know and we'll get it syncing. Thanks! |

Howdy @jmsperu. Unfortunately at this time a full mirror is required to be a public mirror - this means the full repository of 8, 9, and 10 with all architectures included. Do you have the capacity for this? For private mirrors the same rules don't apply as we don't/can't verify the content of private mirrors, but you'll need to be in control of the network which you want to use the private mirror. |

@jmsperu what's your plan on this PR? |

Hi Jonathan, apologies for the delay — we now have the storage and bandwidth headroom for a full mirror. Initial sync is running right now: 10.1 already complete and 8.10 + 9.7 with all four arches (x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le, s390x) actively pulling. Expect 100% within ~24 hours; rsync cron set to 4× daily for ongoing freshness. Thanks for the patience. |
