= New Mirrors =
Currently not looking for mirrors.

Please post your contact information and/or website in the forums if you would like to offer a mirror in case in the future more mirrors are needed.

Old forum thread can be used: <s>https://forums.whonix.org/t/looking-for-mirror-hosts-mirroring-instructions-updated/231/15</s>

= Requirements =
Both, a Kicksecure mirror as well as a Whonix mirror will be required. This is because for simplicity there is only 1 list of mirrors which is shared in both wikis.

= rsync from {{project_clearnet}} =
== Overview ==
* Available over encrypted clearnet port <code>874</code>. (Default port by <code>openssl-rsync</code>.)
* Available over encrypted clearnet port <code>1874</code>. (Default port by Debian ftpsync package, <code>rsync-ssl-tunnel</code> script.)
* Available over [[Onion_Services#Notes_about_End-to-end_Security_of_Onion_Services|encrypted]] onion, port <code>873</code>. (<code>rsync</code> default port.)

Security advice:

* Encrypted rsync is better.
* rsync over onion is best.

Commands below use for testing:

* <code>--dry-run</code>

Therefore:

* Later for production you might wish to drop <code>--dry-run</code> and change the destination folder from <code>~/{{project_name_short_lowercase}}</code> to a folder of your choice such as <code>/var/www/{{project_name_short_lowercase}}</code>.

== preparation ==

{{CodeSelect|code=
sudo apt install rsync
}}

== unencrypted rsync ==
Deprecated. Please use either,

* '''A)''' TLS encrypted rsync, or
* '''B)''' rsync over onion as documented below.

== encrypted rsync over TLS ==

{{CodeSelect|code=
rsync-ssl --dry-run --recursive --delete --times --perms rsync://{{project_clearnet}}/{{project_name_short_lowercase}} ~/{{project_name_short_lowercase}}
}}

== encrypted rsync over onion ==
Preparation.

{{CodeSelect|code=
sudo apt install torsocks rsync
}}

rsync over onion from {{project_name_short}} onion.

{{CodeSelect|code=
torsocks rsync --dry-run --recursive --delete --times --perms "rsync://{{project_onion}}/{{project_name_short_lowercase}}" ~/{{project_name_short_lowercase}}
}}

= Mirror Speed Test =
03 Mai 2020

* dotsrc 103 MB/s in in 16s [acting as primary mirror since]

21 April 2020

* whonix.org 44 MB/s in 39s
* dotsrc 138 MB/s in in 12s

October 2022

* dotsrc: Download speed 7-10 MByte/s (normal for that 50-100 Mbit connection). Took about 3 - 4.5 minutes.
