Description

MirrorBrain has served us well but is unfortunately no longer developed, so these shortcomings are unlikely to be fixed:
  • Dependency on legacy GeoIP databases, which are no longer updated hence will be less and less accurate over time (meaning folks might be redirected to a mirror on the other side of the world and rightfully complain about slow downloads)
  • Clients connecting via TLS might be redirected to an http:// mirror
  • Clients over v6 might be redirected to a v4-only mirror
  • Dependency on Apache2

MirrorBits seems a promising replacement: https://github.com/etix/mirrorbits . We need to investigate if it plays well with our tooling, incl. scanning and metric collection tools.
