Hello!
I'm in the process of setting up a new mirror for torproject.org and am looking for any advice or best practices from seasoned mirror administrators.
I've rsync'd both the website-mirror and dist-mirror directories, and have set a cron job to update hourly.
I'm running the site on OpenBSD, using their included httpd webserver. It doesn't utilize the .htaccess file, so I've run into the same problems with the proper re-direction for the various donate links. I've added a few location blocks to hopefully catch all use cases (which seems to be working), but if I'm missing anything please let me know...
location "/donate/donor-faq.*" { block return 302 "https://donate.torproject.org/donor-faq.html" } location "/donate/donor-privacy-policy.*" { block return 302 "https://donate.torproject.org/privacy-policy.html" } location "/donate/donate*" { block return 302 "https://donate.torproject.org" }
The hardware of the machine itself is as follows:
CPU:Intel Xeon E3-1230 3.20GHz RAM:16GB Hard Drive(s):2x 1TB Bandwidth:100TB @ 1Gbps IP Address:23.82.46.170
I really appreciate all the work the Tor Project has accomplished in the ongoing fight for online privacy, and just want to contribute in any small way that I can!
Regards,
Tyler
