There are two types of mirrors of Ubuntu: package archive mirrors, which mirror the packages that make up the distribution, including regular security update packages and [#cd-images release-cd-only mirrors]. In addition, if you run a very reliable package archive mirror in a country, you can request to be the '''Official Country Mirror''' for that country. This means that all installations of Ubuntu in that country will prefer to use your mirror rather than any other. If you wish to be an official country mirror, please email mirrors@ubuntu.com. | The distribution of Ubuntu CD images and packages can always be improved. There's [[https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mirror-admins|a team]] working on improving user experiences every day, making Ubuntu available to you. You can help too, by creating a mirror of your own and provide people near you with a reliable mirror. |

= Package Archive Mirror Setup = | These pages tell you what to expect, and what Ubuntu expects. You can also find example scripts to sync, and guidelines on maintaining your mirror. |

The master package archive is available from: | There are two types of mirrors: |
Line 11: | Line 15: |
* http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu * rsync://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu |
* Country mirrors (e.g. nl.archive.ubuntu.com/nl.releases.ubuntu.com) * Normal mirrors (reachable via their own hostname) |
Line 14: | Line 18: |
An apt sources.list entry would look like this: | If you wish to create a new mirror, please read this page and its sub-pages. If you want to apply for being a country mirror, please read [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors#Country_Mirror_Requirements|these requirements]]. |
Line 16: | Line 20: |
{{{ deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security main }}} |
= Registration = If your mirror is meant to be used by others, please go and register it at [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+newmirror|Launchpad]]. You may need to create a Launchpad account first. When your registration is successful and approved, it will show up on the mirror lists on Launchpad. It will also be checked by Launchpad. If you registered a CD-mirror and registration is successful and approved, it will also show up on the [[http://www.ubuntu.com/download|Ubuntu download pages]]. = Mirror Guidelines = To keep your mirror up to date and working, please follow these guidelines: * '''Be committed to being a mirror.''' Obviously, each offer to be an Ubuntu mirror is great and users appreciate it. However, it's in nobody's interest to go and change the sources.list every time a mirror disappears. So if you're not planning on creating a mirror for the long run, don't register it. People might get disappointed in you and/or Ubuntu. * '''Know what you're starting with.''' A mirror may cause a lot of traffic. If your server has insufficient bandwidth, users cannot download very well and your machine may become unreachable. If you pay for traffic, please note that traffic might increase, a lot. * '''Make sure you have enough disk space.''' The Ubuntu archive, as of `2024-04-09`, uses about: * '''2.6TB''' of disk space for the Ubuntu package archive. * '''32GB''' for Ubuntu release CD images. .... '''and is slowly growing'''. A full disk will get you out of sync and cause problems for your users. * '''Keep up to date.''' Please try to mirror about four times a day (so every six hours) for archive mirrors. Since Ubuntu only releases every six months or so, a daily check on a releases mirror is sufficient. [[Mirrors/PushMirroring|Push mirroring]] is available as an alternative. * '''Monitor the output of your sync scripts.''' Sometimes, syncing of the mirrors fails. That's ok, but it is very important that you monitor that and correct faults. Missing packages are not very user-friendly, so try to avoid that. * '''Subscribe to the mirror mailing lists'''. There are two mailing lists for mirror admins, you have the [[https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mirrors|ubuntu-mirrors mailing list]] for discussion and tips & tricks about mirroring. There's also [[https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mirrors-announce|ubuntu-mirrors-announce]] which announces big updates and deletes on the mirrors. = Country Mirror Requirements = If you want to apply for being a country mirror, you '''MUST''' follow these requirements: * In case of an archive mirror: * update every six hours (four times a day) * use a [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors/Scripts|two stage sync]] * In case of a releases mirror, update every 4 hours (six times a day) or have [[Mirrors/PushMirroring|push mirroring]] set up. * Provide the following services: * HTTP * Optional, but beneficial: Rsync (modules 'ubuntu' for archive and 'releases' for releases). * Keep your Launchpad-account up to date, so we can reach you if needed. * In case of an archive mirror, the archive must be available at the following URL: * http://<country-code>.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ * In case of a releases mirror, the releases must be available at the following URL: * http://<country-code>.releases.ubuntu.com/ * Subscribe to [[https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mirrors-announce|ubuntu-mirrors-announce]] which announces big updates and deletes on the mirrors. * Note: The way apt works means that all of the hosts behind a given name '''must''' be in sync. If there is already a country mirror for that country, then you need to work out with that country mirror which one is the better one going forward, since there can only be one. (If there is more than one host, they should be on the same lan and making sure that they remain consistent in the view that they present to the users. = Releases Statistics = [[Releases]] approximately take up the following number of ''bytes'' (as of `2019-03-27`): || '''Release''' || '''Size in bytes''' || '''Size in GB''' || || Precise || 4625553121 || 4.3G || || Trusty || 3775672451 || 3.5G || || Xenial || 5324338074 || 5.0G || || Bionic || 2876699930 || 2.7G || || Cosmic || 2929092930 || 2.7G || || ubuntu-core || 1783731688 || 1.7 || || '''Total''' || 16589609199 || 20G || = Existing Mirrors = You can find the list of currently registered mirrors on launchpad: * Archive Mirrors: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors * CD image mirrors: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+cdmirrors To identify which country mirror you are connecting to, you can do a CNAME lookup on the URL and cross reference the result with the relevant list above. You can use the {{{dig}}} command on the terminal to do this (e.g., {{{dig nl.archive.ubuntu.com}}} ). |
Line 22: | Line 85: |
Besides 'main', there are also 'restricted', 'universe' and 'multiverse' archives, which provide additional non-free and/or unsupported software packages. See http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/components/ for more information. | = Communication = |

Looking for a list of Ubuntu archive or CD image mirrors?
The distribution of Ubuntu CD images and packages can always be improved. There's a team working on improving user experiences every day, making Ubuntu available to you. You can help too, by creating a mirror of your own and provide people near you with a reliable mirror.
These pages tell you what to expect, and what Ubuntu expects. You can also find example scripts to sync, and guidelines on maintaining your mirror.
There are two types of mirrors:
- Country mirrors (e.g. nl.archive.ubuntu.com/nl.releases.ubuntu.com)
- Normal mirrors (reachable via their own hostname)
If you wish to create a new mirror, please read this page and its sub-pages. If you want to apply for being a country mirror, please read these requirements.
Registration
If your mirror is meant to be used by others, please go and register it at Launchpad. You may need to create a Launchpad account first. When your registration is successful and approved, it will show up on the mirror lists on Launchpad. It will also be checked by Launchpad. If you registered a CD-mirror and registration is successful and approved, it will also show up on the Ubuntu download pages.
Mirror Guidelines
To keep your mirror up to date and working, please follow these guidelines:
Be committed to being a mirror. Obviously, each offer to be an Ubuntu mirror is great and users appreciate it. However, it's in nobody's interest to go and change the sources.list every time a mirror disappears. So if you're not planning on creating a mirror for the long run, don't register it. People might get disappointed in you and/or Ubuntu.
Know what you're starting with. A mirror may cause a lot of traffic. If your server has insufficient bandwidth, users cannot download very well and your machine may become unreachable. If you pay for traffic, please note that traffic might increase, a lot.
Make sure you have enough disk space. The Ubuntu archive, as of 2024-04-09, uses about:
2.6TB of disk space for the Ubuntu package archive.
32GB for Ubuntu release CD images.
... and is slowly growing. A full disk will get you out of sync and cause problems for your users.
Keep up to date. Please try to mirror about four times a day (so every six hours) for archive mirrors. Since Ubuntu only releases every six months or so, a daily check on a releases mirror is sufficient. Push mirroring is available as an alternative.
Monitor the output of your sync scripts. Sometimes, syncing of the mirrors fails. That's ok, but it is very important that you monitor that and correct faults. Missing packages are not very user-friendly, so try to avoid that.
Subscribe to the mirror mailing lists. There are two mailing lists for mirror admins, you have the ubuntu-mirrors mailing list for discussion and tips & tricks about mirroring. There's also ubuntu-mirrors-announce which announces big updates and deletes on the mirrors.
Country Mirror Requirements
If you want to apply for being a country mirror, you MUST follow these requirements:
- In case of an archive mirror:
- update every six hours (four times a day)
use a two stage sync
In case of a releases mirror, update every 4 hours (six times a day) or have push mirroring set up.
- Provide the following services:
- HTTP
- Optional, but beneficial: Rsync (modules 'ubuntu' for archive and 'releases' for releases).
- Keep your Launchpad-account up to date, so we can reach you if needed.
- In case of an archive mirror, the archive must be available at the following URL:
- In case of a releases mirror, the releases must be available at the following URL:
Subscribe to ubuntu-mirrors-announce which announces big updates and deletes on the mirrors.
Note: The way apt works means that all of the hosts behind a given name must be in sync. If there is already a country mirror for that country, then you need to work out with that country mirror which one is the better one going forward, since there can only be one. (If there is more than one host, they should be on the same lan and making sure that they remain consistent in the view that they present to the users.

Existing Mirrors
You can find the list of currently registered mirrors on launchpad:
Archive Mirrors: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors
CD image mirrors: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+cdmirrors
To identify which country mirror you are connecting to, you can do a CNAME lookup on the URL and cross reference the result with the relevant list above. You can use the dig command on the terminal to do this (e.g., dig nl.archive.ubuntu.com ).
