hi,wido, We would love to provide a ceph mirror in china mainland and Hongkong. Hosting a site in main land of china is a bit complicated, you have to subscribe to china goverment on http://www.miitbeian.gov.cn which is totally chinese. And it may take quit a while to prepare applicant form. we will help you to apply this in the mainland of china. But for mirrors in Hongkong(hk.ceph.com), we do not need this procedure, I could provide a mirror server in two weeks. And the connection speed between Hongkong and mainland of china is not bad. I think this would help. In the mean time, we will help you to subscribe the mirror site in the mainland of china. and we will provide a mirror server in mainland of china(cn.ceph.com) as well. cheers, Dongmao Zhang 在 2015-08-06四的 21:53 +0200,Wido den Hollander写道: > On 08/05/2015 04:48 PM, David Moreau Simard wrote: > > Would love to be a part of this Wido, we currently have a mirror at ceph.mirror.iweb.ca based on the script you provided me a while back.
