How to setup an archlinux tier2 mirror?

Hello, I have some spare resources left on my proxmox machine (2 cpu cores and 250gb of storage) and I have a 300megabit upload.
I  am interested in setting up a tier2 mirror for archlinux.
I have looked at the "DeveloperWiki:NewMirrors" which outlines how to sync packages from tier1 mirrors and apply to be an official mirror. However I didn't find any information on how to actually host those packages in a form that will just work with pacman. This is likely because I have never hosted a webserver before, so I'm sure if I do some more research into how pacman and nginx works I can figure it out. But Is there some place that can guide me through a recommended configuration, or at least give me a starting point?

The link on the last line of chapter 2 of that wiki page should give you some ideas how to get started.
