Now i am interested in installing a mirror [of hydra] for offline installation. There is no telecommunications where I live. So I could bring the server to download substitutes and then take it back to my network for local download. I was told that an nginx mirror of hydra would cache only substitutes after they have been requested through it. Nevertheless, for those that need that, here is the config: > > https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/hydra/nginx/mirror.conf > > > > Since that solution is not for offline use, please suggest what I should do. > > > > I would still want to test installing a hydra mirror. Is there a howto for this? > It's quiet bad that this low connectivity case, which is not that rare, is not included. But we can work on it. In the meantime, you mentioned you have one place with connectivity. Could you create a mid-, short-, or long-distance mesh network with it so that you reach it? Similar to what Freifunk with BATMAN does and other international meshnetwork communities. I think I know at least one more person (besides myself) who's interested in solving problems like these. -- ng0 OpenPG: A88C8ADD129828D7EAC02E52E22F9BBFEE348588 https://krosos.org/~/ng0/ https://www.infotropique.org
