Re: [9fans] Mirroring plan9 sources
Plan 9 does run on AWS and GCP. There are at least two existing images to start from. Richard Miller created an image for AWS and David du Colombier created one for GCP. Check out 9legacy and this list's archive for the how-to's. On Thu, Mar 7, 2019, 1:51 PM wrote: > Any thoughts on how to mirror plan9 sources?

These days 9front should just work out of the box. ARP's support staff have been very helpful tuning the underlying qemu/kvm settings for me when I have needed that, and they don't shy away from helping run "oddball" OSes like Plan 9. --lyndon
[9fans] Mirroring plan9 sources
Any thoughts on how to mirror plan9 sources?I would be willing to pay for and setup a mirror, but finding servers spec’d to run plan9 in the US seems impossible. Would setting up plan9port on a hosted Linux vm make sense as an alternative?Anyone doing this? Looking for thoughts, pointers or experiences in doing this. If this has already been covered feel free to send a link to a doc or ml archive post. Thanks! Tony
