Hi there,
I've been running a couple of Tor relays for some time but have some spare resources/bandwidth so figured why not run a Tor site mirror as well. I've setup a mirror at https://torproject.nexiom.net/. The site mandates HTTPS (seems sensible for Tor) and HTTP will redirect to the equivalent HTTPS URL. The site is set to rsync every six hours and is located in the US. A Tor relay also runs on the same box but I assume this shouldn't be an issue in itself. I can purchase an additional IP address if this is desirable to separate out the relay traffic and the site traffic at the IP level but am hoping this isn't necessary.
Please let me know if this is of use to the Tor project and if any additional details or configuration changes are required.
Keep up the great work :)
Cheers, -SDL

Thanks for running a mirror! I've added you to the official list.
Thanks Andrew. Should this be reflected on https://www.torproject.org/getinvolved/mirrors.html.en or am I confused with another mirror list as it doesn't yet appear to be?
Cheers, -SDL

It will eventually end up there. All mirrors are in the csv file first, https://svn.torproject.org/svn/website/trunk/include/tor-mirrors.csv and then the update script checks for validity and availability before publishing to the website.
The update script is here, https://svn.torproject.org/svn/website/trunk/update-mirrors.pl
Hi Andrew,
I noticed on checking the primary Tor site that my mirror still isn't listed and it looks like the updateDate field in the tor-mirrors.csv is also not populated (which would explain it). I've run the update-mirrors.pl script from two of my servers using the CSV with just my mirror in it for testing purposes and it seemed to work fine so I'm not sure what's going on with the update process on Tor's end? Would you be able to advice? Hopefully I haven't missed something stupid/obvious. Also, if it's not too much trouble, could you please change the AdminContact to sdl@nexiom.net and OrgName to Nexiom?
Thanks in advance, -SDL
