Getting the Bits Out: Fedora Mirror Manager

Matt Domsch

Fedora is fortunate to have several hundred volunteer mirror organizations globally. MirrorManager tracks all of these mirror servers and automatically directs users to a local, fast, current mirror. It has several unique features, including registration of private mirrors and designation of preferred mirrors by IP address - a great benefit to corporations, ISPs and their users. Matt Domsch, Fedora's Mirror Wrangler, will present the web application architecture that feeds updates to over 200,000 users each day. Attendees will learn how to set up their own local private Fedora or EPEL mirrors for schools, companies, and organizations, and how they can volunteer to help distribute Fedora worldwide.
