[01:53] <Guest72> Hi everyone, I'm considering setting up an rsync/https mirror behalf of my company. Any estimate how much bandwidth user downloads may consume for cdimages or repositories?
[01:56] <sarnold> you could probably go through https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/focal-changes/ to find updates over time, compare that against the list of packages your users' machines have installed, and try to roughly guess the requirements from there
[01:57] <sarnold> another option is to set up squid-deb-proxy locally; the first machine to grab every package will see the 'usual' internet latency on that, but subsequent machines will go way faster; it'll require way less disk space, though, since it's really unlikely you'll need everything
[02:01] <Guest72> Well it'd be a public mirror as seen in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+cdmirrors - not internal. I'm curious how much bandwidth a typical mirror consumes.
[02:02] <sarnold> ahhhhhhhh
[02:02] <sarnold> sorry, I misunderstood :) unfortunately I've got less to suggest there :(
[02:04] <barryprice> I don't think there's a simple answer - it'll depend on what country you're in, how popular Ubuntu is there, and what other mirrors exist (and whether yours is as fast or faster than those!)
[02:05] <barryprice> other mirror admins in your country would likely have a better idea - there may be some lurking in this channel depending on where you are
