Installation Instructions
Install from PyPI
You can install mirror
by running pip:
$ sudo pip install mirror
Install from source
Or if you want to build and install from source:
$ python setup.py build
$ sudo python setup.py install
Config and running
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 chown mirror:mirror /var/log/mirrord /var/log/rsync
$ sudo mkdir /etc/mirror
$ sudo cp config/mirror.ini /etc/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.
