Mirror is one of the key success of distributing openSUSE to the user. Availability of the mirror play an important role in the life cycle of a distribution. Indonesia has quite a number of openSUSE users and installations, our Telegram group member is around 1200 as of July 2024.

Before the Indonesia community had its own mirror, usually iso download and update traffic would be directed to Singapore, Taiwan or Japan. Since May 22 2018 the Community has its own opensuse mirror (https://repo.opensuse.id), and start on November 29 2019 we also manage our own tumbleweed mirror (https://twrepo.opensuse.id). Both of mirror are located in Jakarta Indonesia, in two separated building.

Currently, average visitor of repo.opensuse.id is 602 visitors/day and 130,000 hits/day with almost 2TB Tx data monthly, and average visitor of twrepo.opensuse.id is 338 visitors/day and 113,000 hits/day with almost 3TB Tx data monthly.

We use openSUSE Leap, rsync and nginx for our mirrors. repo.opensuse.id curently keep around 3TB repository data, using 4CPU and 16GB of RAM. twrepo.opensuse.id hold around 1.3TB repository data, using 4 CPU and 8GB of RAM.

I will explain some tips from us how to manage the mirror to cope with the current active development condition of Leap, Tumbleweed, and Slowroll. We try hard to keep the mirrors provides at least the basic official repositories for Indonesia openSUSE users.
