openSUSE admin

Hi Rahul

thanks for volunteering your time and resources to join the openSUSE mirror infrastructure, much appreciated!

A couple of things - you don't have an email address directly with Esto Internet?

I see no reverse mappings for your server addresses -

# host opensuse.mirrors.estointernet.in
opensuse.mirrors.estointernet.in has address 103.97.46.254
opensuse.mirrors.estointernet.in has IPv6 address 2001:df4:a300:1::ffff
# host 103.97.46.254
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
# host 2001:df4:a300:1::ffff
Host f.f.f.f.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.0.0.3.a.4.f.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

It is not critical, but makes admin much easier if we can just add your server by name instead of having to add the addresses. If you can fix the reverse mapping, that would be great.

Hi.

Yes I do have an email address @estointernet.in. But, since all other
mirrors ubuntu/centos/apache etc are linked to this email address, I prefer
all mirrors under the same email address.

Okay, it's not a problem. Usually mirrors use a common address, such as e.g. mirror@, that means change of staff does not impact mirror operation.

And for reverse lookup, to be frank we're not hosting our own DNS Servers
and I've failed in my past attempts of adding reverse DNS entries with
public DNS server i.e. google domains or cloudflare. I can give it another
try if you can share some "how to" on that.

Here's what I have done in the past -

a) ask my provider to delegate the reverse zone to our own DNS
b) ask my provider to update their reverse zones (send an email).

I have updated the stage.o.o acl and added your mirror, it should be active:

# mb show esto

Completed in 1.4 minutes

@Per, I disabled the mirror because it had prefix 0.0.0.0/0 which was causing frequent crashes to mirrorbrain. Maybe the URL is wrong and it should be opensuse.mirror.estointernet.in?

I think I have fixed the route views update problem, but it did not help:

# mb update -a mirror.estointernet.in
mirror.estointernet.in: STRANGE! There's no ASN containing this hosts IP address (103.97.46.254)...
# mb update -p mirror.estointernet.in
mirror.estointernet.in: updating network prefix (103.97.46.0/24 -> 0.0.0.0/0)

do we have a temporary fix for this or the mirror cannot go live until 1.7?

I have updated the mirror specs manually, your mirror has been live since 18 December.
What we need, but not urgently, is an update of mod_asn to version 1.7.

I'm closing this, any update of mod_asn will have to be tracked elsewhere.
