New mirror 101 help please

[Clifford Weinmann]

Hi guys,

I'm a little stuck, and need some help please. I  truly hope I'm not wasting your time with something that is documented & I just missed 🙈!

As per a post a week or so ago, I'm trying to resurrect our mirror on Mauritius, at fedora-mirror.cloud.mu.

I have registered it in MirrorManager, added the categories of content we carry so far, and limited access to Mauritius (MU) and Reunion (RE) as we have limited bandwidth, and I don't believe anyone else can benefit from pulling from here. I am mirroring content with `quick-fedora-mirror`, but am filtering out some content to fit into available space. I believe I should have a usable copy of x86_64 & aarch64 for Fedora 41 & 42 though. For reference, my filter expression is:

```
FILTEREXP='(/i386|/armhfp|/ppc64le|/s390x|/source|/alt/development|/SRPMS|/debug|.iso|.img|.qcow2|.raw.xz|.box|/releases/test|/releases/[123789]|releases/4[01]/Everything/x86_64/iso)'
```

The mirror is listed at https://mirrormanager.fedoraproject.org/mirrors/Fedora/42/x86_64?page_size=20&page_number=6.

It is not included in the metalink mirror list though. A request like this lists only mirrors in KE and MA:

```
curl 'https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-42&arch=x86_64&am...'
```

I assume I'm missing something, either in terms of configuration steps, or in terms of required content. I'm at a loss for what that might be though. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Kind regards,

Clifford

It looks correct for epel. So it seems to work form some things.

I think you are missing "linux/" at the end of the "Fedora Linux"
category URLs. That part is confusing. At "linux/" to all three of your
URLs for the "Fedora Linux" category.

Thanks Adrian,

The correct paths to use was unclear, yes.

I've changed that, let's see if it solves the problem after the next scan.

Kind regards,

Clifford
