Some mirror contribution questions

Hi all,

I’ve migrated my Leap 15.6 VPS recently, meant new IPv4/IPv6. Recognized now, that a mirror doesn’t like me, or my VPS :slight_smile: Doing the same from Leap 15.6 at home works fine, same mirror.

Whatever might be the root cause, reason for this post is something different:

While thinking about mirrors, I’ve just recognized that my VPS could/should be “big” enough for contributing with an own mirror. But no clue how, what are the specs needed, min availability (VPS is 24/7 on, but…), expected needed disk space for mirrored data. And, probably most important: expected traffic per day/month, in average. There are ex. limits.

If there’s still a benefit by a new mirror, let me please know FAST - my hosting company has a “special offer day”, for the next 12 hours from now, would mean a dedicated .DE domain for the mirror for just 13 c’t/month…

Cheers,
Michael
