{"guid":"PBe0tZMxUQrkaStL25wGDQ","title":"Building openSUSE Mirror(s) in Mauritius","subtitle":"Making small steps in Africa","slug":"4977-building-opensuse-mirror-s-in-mauritius","link":"https://c3voc.de","description":"At oSC23, I [presented](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abNBhLug2Ls) the challenges that we, a small community of openSUSE users, faced back home when building our first mirror in Mauritius. Two years later, I'm sharing updates on how we're expanding further and adding a second mirror in Mauritius to host more mirror content for the local community. \n\nWe still face challenges, which I will share during this talk, and I hope it triggers a discussion around how we can further optimize and support mirrors for smaller economies. If we get things right, it can be a template for other countries that still do not feature on [mirrors.opensuse.org](https://mirrors.opensuse.org).\n\nLicensed to the public under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","original_language":"eng","persons":["Ish Sookun"],"tags":["4977","2025","osc25","openSUSE","Saal","osc25-eng","Day 2"],"view_count":18,"promoted":false,"date":"2025-06-27T16:00:00.000+02:00","release_date":"2025-06-28T00:00:00.000+02:00","updated_at":"2025-10-25T22:15:04.425+02:00","length":1027,"duration":1027,"thumb_url":"https://static.media.ccc.de/media/events/osc/2025/4977-PBe0tZMxUQrkaStL25wGDQ.jpg","poster_url":"https://static.media.ccc.de/media/events/osc/2025/4977-PBe0tZMxUQrkaStL25wGDQ_preview.jpg","timeline_url":"https://static.media.ccc.de/media/events/osc/2025/4977-PBe0tZMxUQrkaStL25wGDQ.timeline.jpg","thumbnails_url":"https://static.media.ccc.de/media/events/osc/2025/4977-PBe0tZMxUQrkaStL25wGDQ.thumbnails.vtt","frontend_link":"https://media.ccc.de/v/4977-building-opensuse-mirror-s-in-mauritius","url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/events/PBe0tZMxUQrkaStL25wGDQ","conference_title":"openSUSE Conference 2025","conference_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/conferences/osc25","related":[],"recordings":[{"size":11,"length":1027,"mime_type":"audio/opus","language":"eng","filename":"osc25-4977-eng-Building_openSUSE_Mirror_s_in_Mauritius_opus.opus","state":"new","folder":"opus","high_quality":false,"width":0,"height":0,"updated_at":"2025-06-28T15:35:57.814+02:00","recording_url":"https://cdn.media.ccc.de/events/osc/2025/opus/osc25-4977-eng-Building_openSUSE_Mirror_s_in_Mauritius_opus.opus","url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/recordings/88598","event_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/events/PBe0tZMxUQrkaStL25wGDQ","conference_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/conferences/osc25"},{"size":67,"length":1027,"mime_type":"video/webm","language":"eng","filename":"osc25-4977-eng-Building_openSUSE_Mirror_s_in_Mauritius_webm-hd.webm","state":"new","folder":"webm-hd","high_quality":true,"width":1920,"height":1080,"updated_at":"2025-07-01T14:57:08.078+02:00","recording_url":"https://cdn.media.ccc.de/events/osc/2025/webm-hd/osc25-4977-eng-Building_openSUSE_Mirror_s_in_Mauritius_webm-hd.webm","url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/recordings/88771","event_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/events/PBe0tZMxUQrkaStL25wGDQ","conference_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/conferences/osc25"},{"size":33,"length":1027,"mime_type":"video/webm","language":"eng","filename":"osc25-4977-eng-Building_openSUSE_Mirror_s_in_Mauritius_webm-sd.webm","state":"new","folder":"webm-sd","high_quality":false,"width":720,"height":576,"updated_at":"2025-07-01T14:57:03.162+02:00","recording_url":"https://cdn.media.ccc.de/events/osc/2025/webm-sd/osc25-4977-eng-Building_openSUSE_Mirror_s_in_Mauritius_webm-sd.webm","url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/recordings/88770","event_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/events/PBe0tZMxUQrkaStL25wGDQ","conference_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/conferences/osc25"},{"size":24,"length":1027,"mime_type":"video/mp4","language":"eng","filename":"osc25-4977-eng-Building_openSUSE_Mirror_s_in_Mauritius_sd.mp4","state":"new","folder":"h264-sd","high_quality":false,"width":720,"height":576,"updated_at":"2025-06-28T15:37:24.033+02:00","recording_url":"https://cdn.media.ccc.de/events/osc/2025/h264-sd/osc25-4977-eng-Building_openSUSE_Mirror_s_in_Mauritius_sd.mp4","url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/recordings/88600","event_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/events/PBe0tZMxUQrkaStL25wGDQ","conference_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/conferences/osc25"},{"size":15,"length":1027,"mime_type":"audio/mpeg","language":"eng","filename":"osc25-4977-eng-Building_openSUSE_Mirror_s_in_Mauritius_mp3.mp3","state":"new","folder":"mp3","high_quality":false,"width":0,"height":0,"updated_at":"2025-06-28T15:36:01.460+02:00","recording_url":"https://cdn.media.ccc.de/events/osc/2025/mp3/osc25-4977-eng-Building_openSUSE_Mirror_s_in_Mauritius_mp3.mp3","url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/recordings/88599","event_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/events/PBe0tZMxUQrkaStL25wGDQ","conference_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/conferences/osc25"},{"size":64,"length":1027,"mime_type":"video/mp4","language":"eng","filename":"osc25-4977-eng-Building_openSUSE_Mirror_s_in_Mauritius_hd.mp4","state":"new","folder":"h264-hd","high_quality":true,"width":1920,"height":1080,"updated_at":"2025-06-28T12:11:33.719+02:00","recording_url":"https://cdn.media.ccc.de/events/osc/2025/h264-hd/osc25-4977-eng-Building_openSUSE_Mirror_s_in_Mauritius_hd.mp4","url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/recordings/88435","event_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/events/PBe0tZMxUQrkaStL25wGDQ","conference_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/conferences/osc25"}]}
