NAME

runmirrors.conf - Configuration for runmirrors

DESCRIPTION

ftpsync is part of the ftpsync suite for mirroring Debian and Debian-like repositories of packages. As there are way too many mirrors of Debian to populate them all from the machine that generates the archive (“ftp-master”), mirrors are organized in a tree-shaped hierarchy. Thus, every mirror has exactly one upstream from which it syncs, and each mirror can have any number of downstreams which in turn sync from it.

OPTIONS

MAILTO: The script can send logs (or error messages) to a mail address. If this is unset it will default to the current user.

Default: $LOGNAME

KEYFILE: Which ssh key to use?

Default: ~/.ssh/pushmirror

Log options

LOGDIR: In which directory should logfiles end up.

Default: ~/.local/log/ftpsync in the package, ${BASEDIR}/log otherwise

LOG: Name of our own logfile.

Note that ${NAME} is set by the ftpsync script depending on the way it is called. See README for a description of the multi-archive capability and better always include ${NAME} in this path.

Default: LOGDIR/{NAME}.log

LOGROTATE: We do create a logfile for every run. To save space we rotate them, this defines how many we keep

Default: 14

Other options

LOCKDIR: Our lockfile directory.

Default: ~/.local/lock/ftpsync in the package, ${BASEDIR}/locks otherwise

MIRRORS: Our mirrorfile

Default: CONFDIR/{NAME}.mirror

SSH_OPTS: Extra ssh options we might want. hostwide. By default, ignore ssh key change of leafs

Default “-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no”

PUSHARCHIVE: Whats our archive name? We will also tell our leafs about it This is usually empty, but if we are called as “runmirrors bpo” it will default to bpo. This way one runmirrors script can serve multiple archives, similar to what ftpsync does.

PUSHDELAY: How long to wait for mirrors to do stage1 if we have multi-stage syncing

Default: 600

Hooks

Hook scripts can be run at various places.

HOOK1: After reading config, before doing the first real action.

HOOK2: Between two hosts to push.

HOOK3: When everything is done.
