How much traffic I need for a public linux package repository?

More persisly, arm verison of ubuntu. because normal mirror of ubuntu doesn't have them (only x86 and amd64).
this makes only 3 of the mirrors have it and all of them in europe while there are a million ubuntu mirrors.

I don't expect I'll need much cpu or ram as it's mostly plane http file server and some sync job.
but I have no idea how much I'll need. I guess a lot because it'll be only mirror for this on USA.
I orignally wanted to run it in Asia, but I already know it will cost a lot.

a full ubuntu mirror is a bit over 1TB

if you only mirrored arm and didn't mirror universe/multiverse, you could probably do it in around 100GB

actually, "full" ubuntu mirror doesn't have packages compiled for arm. this makes the problem in first place.

apt-get install on scaleway ARM works fine?

C
Scaleway runs own mirror and its datacenters are on Paris and Amsterdam, both still in europe.

Edit:

Could you tell me the mirror details, I could test it myself and report back.

apt install apt-mirror

put the following in /etc/apt/mirror.list

deb [arch=armhf] http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main restricted universe multiverse 

deb [arch=armhf] http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-security main restricted universe multiverse 
deb [arch=armhf] http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates main restricted universe multiverse 

sudo apt-mirror

point webserver to /var/spool/apt-mirror

Done

After i test it with myself( have to change it to port.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ because no mirror has it) its about 64gb

Well, you could also email the operator of your preferred mirror and ask him to mirror that too.
