You can install mirror
by running pip:
sudo pip install mirror
Or if you want to build and install from source:
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
If from source, you can install it to a custom directory:
python setup.py install --root=/tmp
After that, you are going to set up environment, you are encouraged to add a specific user to run mirrord
, here we suppose the username is mirror
and its home directory is /home/mirror
.
Make necessary directories:
sudo mkdir /var/log/mirrord /var/log/rsync
sudo chown mirror:mirror /var/log/mirrord /var/log/rsync
mkdir ~/.config/mirror
cp config/mirror.ini ~/.config/mirror/
Now you can edit mirror.ini to fit your needs and run:
mirrord
and that's done. Also you can use man mirrord
or mirrord -h
to read the documents.
If mirrord
is running, you can run:
mirrord -t
to show the current task queue.
