If you are talking about a Debian mirror, there are some resources here: https://www.debian.org/mirror/ If you are talking about a separate repository to the existing repository, that sounds like a Debian derivative. Personally I would encourage people to contribute to Debian rather than starting new derivatives, except for experiments that will be re-integrated into Debian. https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives > Also, I could allow it's use for development purpose if some people need > it.

The existing options for building software on other people's computers are documented here: https://wiki.debian.org/Hardware/Wanted#Available_hardware I think that the hardware you are offering could be useful to the Salsa CI or Deb-o-matic services, I'm not sure how easy it is for them to integrate more hardware though. > If someone know other way to give back to the community or have > suggestions then I'm open. In my opinion, the best way to give back is to be involved in producing Debian; testing, packaging, bug fixing etc and there are many ways to do that, some documented here: https://www.debian.org/intro/help -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
