CentOS Mirror managements SOP

mirrors.centos.org is an alias to mirrors.fedoraproject.org and so is a MirrorManager instance hosted by Fedora infra team. Let's see which process to follow when we get a ticket (see Howto on the wiki ) to add/remove/modify a mirror entry in corresponding DB.

CentOS Stream 9 and beyond

When we get a new request for CentOS Stream mirror, the process goes like this :

• ticket is reviewed by infra-and-releng team and tagged with mirrormanager label
• assignee should :
  • verify that mirror isn't located at GeoIP level from an embargoed country
  • verify that provided URLs (http/https and - optional - rsync) are working
  • follow the link to that mirror in mirrormanager (needs sysadmin-web FAS group membership)
  • add the CentOS category and then add the URLs
  • On mon.rdu2.centos.org, update the file /var/lib/centos-infra/stream-mirror.list with the IPs to be add in ACL (one IP per line)
  • update ticket with info and close
