pickanick "For help, please use RT" What's that and should it be obvious to everyone?12:42
sajoupapickanick: it's the email tip at the end of the topic12:44
ravageit is a ticket system called request tracker12:46
ravageyou can open a ticket there via email12:46
pickanickI recommend the channel topic is " For help, please email the request tracker (RT) at mirrors@ubuntu.com "12:47
ravagei already suggested to chnage the topic because nobody knows what RT is12:47
ravagebut i was told that it is abvious12:47
ravage*obvious12:47
pickanickKeeping it obscure saves a few precious characters plus has the advantage of minimizing work to the support specialists. 12:48
ravagei really have no clue. i just keep telling everyone after they join12:50
ravagemy ticket got answered fast so i cant complain12:50
pickanickravage, thank you for your help. 12:58
pickanickWhere is the list of ubuntu mirrors? I don't see it on the doc page linked above.13:02
pickanickCan mirrors use https: ?  You might be surprised to learn that users in my part of the world have better throughput with https than with http because http is too easy to mess with.13:04
ravagehttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors13:06
pickanick"The repository 'http://hk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy InRelease' is no longer signed."13:07
maswanyou can, but the cctld.archive.ubuntu.com aren't13:07
maswanavailable over https since they are on mirrors and needs to be redirected13:07
maswanbut you can chose one particular mirror and use their native name over https13:07
maswanso http://se.archive.ubuntu.com but https://mirror.accum.se13:08
barrypriceexactly, so for Hong Kong, https://mirror.xtom.com.hk/ubuntu/ is 10Gbps and HTTPS13:08
barryprice(via the Hong Kong section of ravage's link above)13:10
=== pick is now known as pickanick
pickanickis there an https replacement for http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu ?13:41
ravagepickanick: i dont think so13:43
pickanickinteresting14:03
Fluorpickanick, https doesnt add much to the mirrors, overhead perhaps. all packages are sha-summed and signed by gpg-keys to protect integrity.14:05
maswanin places with adversarial ISPs, https might be faster and more reliable14:08
pickanickFluor: please note the comment of maswan, he is correct.14:10
pickanickI'm still getting with the new URL "Err:9 https://mirror.xtom.com.hk/ubuntu jammy InRelease  403  Forbidden [IP: 2403:2c80:5::6 443] \14:14
pickanickErr:10 https://mirror.xtom.com.hk/ubuntu jammy-updates InRelease \  403  Forbidden [IP: 2403:2c80:5::6 443] \   Err:11 https://mirror.xtom.com.hk/ubuntu jammy-backports InRelease \   403  Forbidden [IP: 2403:2c80:5::6 443]14:14
pickanickThe repository 'https://mirror.xtom.com.hk/ubuntu jammy InRelease' is not signed       (pardon me will switch networks and rejoin)14:17
pickanickhmm when connecting by other more convoluted means, https://mirror.xtom.com.hk/ubuntu seems to work fine. 14:25
pickanicka pox upon the adversarial ISP and all their house14:28
Guest68Hello - anyone know what timezone archive.ubuntu.com is in?16:00
enycGuest68: I always wonder with pointers like that if they point to different locations ...  SEEMS to be linked into he-london in one case, seems to be boston/USA in aontther case16:13
enycGuest68: e.g.  2620:2d:4000 ...  and  2620:2d:4002 ...  go to different locations16:13
ravagethey are US and UK16:28
ravageim not sure if there any smart geo location going on16:28
Guest68so probably better to use the countrycode.archive ... for an internal mirror (ran into a few issues with timing)16:29
ravagea mirror for your country should exists and you should use one 16:29
ravagewhat does internal mirror mean?16:30
Guest68non public16:30
ravageyou can sync that for a country specific mirror if it provides rsync16:30
ravagei would choose one from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors with a good connection16:31
ravageand also add some checks so you get notified on errors16:31
ravagehttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Rsyncmirror16:32
ravagethe question is if you really need a full mirror or just a proxy with cache16:34
Guest68Probably proxy with cache, but this existed before my time here16:35
ravagei think an nginx config to do that should be done within an hour :)16:35
ravageor use something like https://medium.com/@scythargon/local-caching-mirror-for-ubuntu-apt-5390dae5ed5f16:36
ravagebut i always find nginx very useful for this16:36
ravagehttps://yeupou.wordpress.com/2014/01/28/caching-debianetc-apt-repositories-on-your-local-server-with-nginx-and-dsniff/ but you can ignore all the dns fake stuff. you dont need to fake any dns for your own mirror16:39
Guest68Thanks16:40
