Become a Arch linux mirror host

Hey I'm tired from the slow Arch Linux mirrors, but more it's instability.

I am Field Engineer and have service a magistrales Moscow/EU.

I have a rack at my home in Moscow used for the Storj.
256 TB NVMe x3 40 GB/s Bandwidth(only one is not bieng used, other one I have used for "ping" aftar that's someone cry about bills of AWS ). Available space is not much, around 110 TB.

The server can be runned on Windows Server 2019 only(not make shure about drivers and Arch stability). Any proposies.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … NewMirrors should give an idea what's needed.

@Lone_Wolf Did you have backd from CofeShop?! Only Windows can be used read again! No flood, that's deny by the forum rules!

Who at this forum will organisate this all actions? The garanties politics to the government, I'll storage and distribute unknown data at my hardware, the administration need to sign me something papier.
In Russia this is very sirios, that's not EU where there you can just say and forget, if you understand what I mean.

Re: Become a Arch linux mirror host

While rsync itself doesn't have a windows version, there are alternatives that offer the same functionality[1]

I don't have answers to your other questions , try asking on the archlinux mirror list[2].
Another source of information would be the admins of existing russian archlinux mirrors :

Note that you will not be able to store the packages directly on a Windows filesystem.
