For free? Have always been wondering what the benefit of this would be...?
what is your budget, server location,
ram, cpu,disk [sata or ssd], bandwidth ?
No personal benefits. Just want to help the open source community, especially the smaller projects which find it hard to get sponsored mirrors.
Location would be anything. I'm planning to get one in North America, one in Europe to start with. Pricing would be anything, cheaper the better. Sata disk with low CPU/RAM and lots of bandwidth(possibly unmetered) would be preferable. A friend was kind enough to donate one in Asia.
For Europe you can look at Hetzner with there unlimited bandwidth option.
Many projects have enough mirrors and won't use more than 10Mb/s though...
Thank you. Considering Contabo, Online.net(and it's partners) as well.
It's mostly for the smaller projects which don't get noticed as easily. Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS already have Cloudflare, Fastly hosted mirrors so this is not intended for them.
So, you want to host your Linux ISO ?
I didn't mean "Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS" but smaller projects. You'll see that most don't really need more bandwidth. Some do, but not that many.
