Hi all,
I'm finalizing the mirroring scripts. There are a number of things
mirror maintainers can do in advance:
Set up your mailserver to accept mail for the midgard-project.org domain
and relay it to midgard.mi-recordz.com. I'll then add you as MXen for
the domain.
Set up a user 'midgard' on your system with home directory
/home/midgard.
There will be 3 (groups of) files that you will need to fetch, the
attachments, the generated docs and the database. These will be
made available to mirrors via rsync/ssh. In order to facilitate this
you'll need to generate a key for user midgard with ssh-keygen.
Generate a key without a passphrase. You can pick another filename
than ~/.ssh/identity if you like. You will get a binary private key,
keep this safe (verify file permissions) and a public key (ascii).
I'll need to have this public key.
Then there's the issue of fetching the database. We can use MySQL
replication although I've never worked with this; experiences/comments
welcome. Other options are dumping the database and either the mirrors
pulling it in or the master pushing them out. In order for MySQL
replication to work the mirrors may require a MySQL upgrade
(3.23.15 minimum) and I'll need to know the hostname for your mirror
since the replication mechanism is in all likelyness going to clobber
your host entries unless they're in the master database.
Input much appreciated,
Emile
