Sub-pages

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 see this page and the links provided there. 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.
