| pickanick | "For help, please use RT" What's that and should it be obvious to everyone? | 12:42 |
|---|---|---|
| sajoupa | pickanick: it's the email tip at the end of the topic | 12:44 |
| ravage | it is a ticket system called request tracker | 12:46 |
| ravage | you can open a ticket there via email | 12:46 |
| pickanick | I recommend the channel topic is " For help, please email the request tracker (RT) at mirrors@ubuntu.com " | 12:47 |
| ravage | i already suggested to chnage the topic because nobody knows what RT is | 12:47 |
| ravage | but i was told that it is abvious | 12:47 |
| ravage | *obvious | 12:47 |
| pickanick | Keeping it obscure saves a few precious characters plus has the advantage of minimizing work to the support specialists. | 12:48 |
| ravage | i really have no clue. i just keep telling everyone after they join | 12:50 |
| ravage | my ticket got answered fast so i cant complain | 12:50 |
| pickanick | ravage, thank you for your help. | 12:58 |
| pickanick | Where is the list of ubuntu mirrors? I don't see it on the doc page linked above. | 13:02 |
| pickanick | Can 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 |
| ravage | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors | 13:06 |
| pickanick | "The repository 'http://hk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy InRelease' is no longer signed." | 13:07 |
| maswan | you can, but the cctld.archive.ubuntu.com aren't | 13:07 |
| maswan | available over https since they are on mirrors and needs to be redirected | 13:07 |
| maswan | but you can chose one particular mirror and use their native name over https | 13:07 |
| maswan | so http://se.archive.ubuntu.com but https://mirror.accum.se | 13:08 |
| barryprice | exactly, so for Hong Kong, https://mirror.xtom.com.hk/ubuntu/ is 10Gbps and HTTPS | 13:08 |
| barryprice | (via the Hong Kong section of ravage's link above) | 13:10 |
| === pick is now known as pickanick | ||
| pickanick | is there an https replacement for http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu ? | 13:41 |
| ravage | pickanick: i dont think so | 13:43 |
| pickanick | interesting | 14:03 |
| Fluor | pickanick, https doesnt add much to the mirrors, overhead perhaps. all packages are sha-summed and signed by gpg-keys to protect integrity. | 14:05 |
| maswan | in places with adversarial ISPs, https might be faster and more reliable | 14:08 |
| pickanick | Fluor: please note the comment of maswan, he is correct. | 14:10 |
| pickanick | I'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 |
| pickanick | Err: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 |
| pickanick | The repository 'https://mirror.xtom.com.hk/ubuntu jammy InRelease' is not signed (pardon me will switch networks and rejoin) | 14:17 |
| pickanick | hmm when connecting by other more convoluted means, https://mirror.xtom.com.hk/ubuntu seems to work fine. | 14:25 |
| pickanick | a pox upon the adversarial ISP and all their house | 14:28 |
| Guest68 | Hello - anyone know what timezone archive.ubuntu.com is in? | 16:00 |
| enyc | Guest68: 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 case | 16:13 |
| enyc | Guest68: e.g. 2620:2d:4000 ... and 2620:2d:4002 ... go to different locations | 16:13 |
| ravage | they are US and UK | 16:28 |
| ravage | im not sure if there any smart geo location going on | 16:28 |
| Guest68 | so probably better to use the countrycode.archive ... for an internal mirror (ran into a few issues with timing) | 16:29 |
| ravage | a mirror for your country should exists and you should use one | 16:29 |
| ravage | what does internal mirror mean? | 16:30 |
| Guest68 | non public | 16:30 |
| ravage | you can sync that for a country specific mirror if it provides rsync | 16:30 |
| ravage | i would choose one from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors with a good connection | 16:31 |
| ravage | and also add some checks so you get notified on errors | 16:31 |
| ravage | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Rsyncmirror | 16:32 |
| ravage | the question is if you really need a full mirror or just a proxy with cache | 16:34 |
| Guest68 | Probably proxy with cache, but this existed before my time here | 16:35 |
| ravage | i think an nginx config to do that should be done within an hour :) | 16:35 |
| ravage | or use something like https://medium.com/@scythargon/local-caching-mirror-for-ubuntu-apt-5390dae5ed5f | 16:36 |
| ravage | but i always find nginx very useful for this | 16:36 |
| ravage | https://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 mirror | 16:39 |
| Guest68 | Thanks | 16:40 |
