Installation Instructions

Install from PyPI

You can install mirror by running pip:

Install from source

Or if you want to build and install from source:

$ python setup.py build

Config and running

After that, you are going to set up environment, you are encouraged to add a specific user to run mirrord, here we suppose the username is mirror and its home directory is /home/mirror.

Make necessary directories:

$ sudo chown mirror:mirror /var/log/mirrord /var/log/rsync
$ sudo mkdir /etc/mirror
$ sudo cp config/mirror.ini /etc/mirror/

Now you can edit mirror.ini to fit your needs and run:

$ mirrord

and that's done. Also you can use man mirrord or mirrord -h to read the documents.

If mirrord is running, you can run:

$ mirrord -t

to show the current task queue.
