Thanks !

Your mirror http://mirror.web4africa.ng/centos/ has been added to the mirrors DB

It will be listed as a public mirror (and on https://mirror-status.centos.org / https://www.centos.org/download/mirrors/ ) in the following minutes/hours.
Your IP address[es] (169.255.57.83 2c0f:f598:1::1:5e26:3f2b) has/have been added in the ACL and so you should be able to rsync from msync.centos.org in the next ~10min

Important : it only concerns CentOS Linux 7 and Stream 8. For Stream 9 and above, read (again) https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreatePublicMirrors

Kind Regards

Please restrict this mirror to queries from the country Nigeria.
1) the country doesn't have any meaningful interconnections with any neighbouring countries. Such flow through Europe.
2) it is the most populous country in Africa. The local traffic is more than enough.

The mirror server is being hit with high international traffic

The attempt to rsync with the main mirror using this command returns the error that starts with:
rsync -azP rsync://msync.centos.org /home/centos/

CentOS.org rsync service (centosh7.centos.org)

This service is intended for the sole use of the CentOS worldwide mirror network
to synchronize mirrors.

Hi @niyyie ,

Like said in https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/968 we cant restrict any mirror and the mapping of nearest countries were fixed for Nigeria

There isnt much we can do, because its a public mirror and also theres a possibility of people pointing to your mirror directly.

So, we can remove your mirror from mirrorlist if you want, but according to centos status and centos mirror your mirror is up and running

About the error, I didnt understand the problem. Can you describe how you're doing the rsync and what is happening?

Metadata Update from @phsmoura:
- Issue priority set to: Waiting on Reporter (was: Needs Review)

As explained, there isn't much we can do about restricting your mirror

Closing the issue because there wasn't a reply. Feel free to reopen if needed

I am attaching a screenshot regarding the rsync error.

Hi @niyyie

I think you forgot to attach the screenshot

I dont think this is a rsync error and according to https://mirror-status.centos.org/ your mirror is ok. This message is showing because you're not using -q in your command.

Also, there is a suggestion how to use rsync in our wiki.
