FTP

OpenBSD organizes FTP mirrors based on a master fanout site, used to feed second level mirrors, which other sites should mirror and retrieve from. Second level mirrors are chosen from sites with good network connectivity and maintainers known to the openbsd development community. If you wish to maintain an ftp mirror, please ensure you pick a nearby secondary mirror site to mirror from - mirroring from the master fanout site is strongly discouraged.

Structural Layout:

The file structure of each server is roughly:

People setting up new FTP/ANONCVS mirrors will be interested in the following disk space usage estimates for what is maintained at ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/.
The current policy requires mirrors listed on this page to provide at least the last two releases in binary form (currently 4.3 and 4.4), as well as the OpenSSH/, OpenNTPD/, OpenBGPD/, patches/ and tools/ directories. Note that in the above, "release" means all files under the specific directory (e.g. 4.4/). This includes all architecture subdirectories and the complete packages subdirectory, with packages for all application architectures.
Depending on the disk space available, mirrors may provide more contents, such as snapshots, older releases, current source tree, etc.
The current disk space usage on the master ftp site is as follows:


                      current
pub/OpenBSD/3.6       17.6GB   (OpenBSD 3.6 release)
pub/OpenBSD/3.7       17.8GB   (OpenBSD 3.7 release)
pub/OpenBSD/3.8       20.0GB   (OpenBSD 3.8 release)
pub/OpenBSD/3.9       22.4GB   (OpenBSD 3.9 release)
pub/OpenBSD/4.0       25.6GB   (OpenBSD 4.0 release)
pub/OpenBSD/4.1       31.7GB   (OpenBSD 4.1 release)
pub/OpenBSD/4.2       35.2GB   (OpenBSD 4.2 release)
pub/OpenBSD/4.3       47.7GB   (OpenBSD 4.3 release)
pub/OpenBSD/4.4       52.8GB   (OpenBSD 4.4 release)
pub/OpenBSD/snapshots 50.0GB   (current snapshots, normally >= the last
				distribution in size)
pub/OpenBSD/src         .7GB   (ftpable src tree, checked out from anoncvs
				nightly. You should avoid using an ftp mirror
				to get this. It's better to just update it
				yourself with a checkout from a nearby anoncvs
				server.)
Hence, a mirror requires about 150GB of disk space at least, for snapshots and the last two releases. Depending on which old releases you serve additionally, you can waste still more disk space. Note that the master ftp site also provides the following directory, that you MUST NOT mirror, or you risk losing access to the server you are mirroring from.

pub/OpenBSD/distfiles 40.9GB   (distfiles used by the ports subsystem
				makefiles. Do not mirror these yourself.
				The ports infrastructure only fetches from
				ftp.openbsd.org and ftp.usa.openbsd.org.)

If you do wish to provide access to the ports distfiles, this can be done through the mirroring-ports(7) infrastructure.

If you add a new FTP, HTTP, AFS or RSYNC mirror site, please contact www@openbsd.org.
