Centos Stream mirror recreation
by Hostico 26 Apr '24

26 Apr '24

Hello, we had some hardware issues with out mirror server (https://mirrors.hostico.ro) which caused it to be offline for about 24hours and then took some time to resync everything. In the meantime our epel (https://mirrors.hostico.ro/fedora/epel/) and centos-stream (http://mirrors.hostico.ro/centos-stream/) mirrors were taken offline due to crawl errors. I updated the host from the mirror managed admin panel a couple of days ago but since the links didn't reappear online and the server was not crawled i tried deleting and readding the categories. To my surprise i was only able to readd the "Fedora EPEL" category . Is there a way to readd the Centos-stream one or should i just stop syncing it ? Thank you. -- ------ Regards, Sebastian Bobriuc https://hostico.ro

Abusive repodata downloads
by Carsten Otto 12 Apr '24

12 Apr '24

Hi, I'm one of the admins of ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de, which offers fedora and fedora-epel among other distributions and projects. I've recently noticed that many Fedora users (including EPEL, CentOS, and BlackArch) frequently re-download "repodata" files that haven't been updated since the previous request. As some of those files are rather large ("filelists") and others are hit extremely often, I added fail2ban rules to deny users access to our service for some time. Please adjust your software so that file mirrors like ours are not (ab)used like this. Files that haven't been changed usually shouldn't be downloaded. Thanks Carsten -- Dr. Carsten Otto http://verify.rwth-aachen.de/otto/

Remove support@it4i.cz
by Carsten Otto 12 Apr '24

Hi, could you please remove support(a)it4i.cz (or *.it4i.cz?) from the list? They keep spamming me with useless support ticket messages and don't respond to my complaints. Thanks Carsten -- Dr. Carsten Otto http://verify.rwth-aachen.de/otto/

I'm not sure if we're seing the same thing that Carsten is seing, but it certainly sounds similiar: We are seing a massively increased number of requests to our EPEL mirror (but _not_ our CentOS-old mirror, and we have no CentOS-stream mirror). More precisely, starting March 27 (last Wednesday), the number of requests to the EPEL-mirror has more than quadrupled, from about 400k-ish to 1.5M-2.5M per day [1], as has the number of transferred bytes, from about 1 TB to 4-7 TB per day [2]. That certainly does look like something is wrong. Taking a closer look at the 1.79M EPEL-requests yesterday, 1.57M of them reported an user-agent of "urlgrabber/3.10 yum/3.4.3", which I guess is CentOS7? But there has not been a recent update to yum in CentOS7, has there? Have there perhaps some EPEL mirrors been dropped in Germany recently, or is something wrong with the mirrorlist-load-balancing, that could explain the sudden surge in requests?
