Good Afternoon, I need to setup a private repo for rawhide I was told that is about 200gb.
Depends on what you want to mirror. However, just the fedora/linux/development/rawhide directory is over 500GB:
# du -sk rawhide 534363340 rawhide
That includes three architectures. Mirroring the rawhide portion of the fedora-secondary tree would of course be larger.
I am looking at the documentation for private mirrors and they are not clear on the way forward on how to get this setup.
It depends on exactly what you want. If you just want a local copy of the files that you can configure dnf/yum/whatever to access, then you just rsync the content from some mirror near you, put it some place your client machines can access and configure them appropriately. You don't have to tell anyone about that or configure anything in mirrormanager.
If on the other hand you want clients in appropriate netblocks to be pointed to your mirror (as one of the possibilities they receive) when they request the list of mirrors from mirrormanager, then you need to need to tell mirrormanager what to do and what netblock your clients are in.
Is this the right place to ask and seek assistance?
Seems on topic to me.
Also Im noticing that you require a netblock even for private mirrors.
Yes. Otherwise how would mirrormanager know to direct your clients to your mirror?
Is this absolutely necessary as my VPS provider gives me a single IPv4 but i can get a whole /64 ipv6 netblock assigned if necessary.
But you have multiple clients, yes? What netblock are they in? That's what mirrormanager needs to know.

Hi Jason,
Thanks for reaching out to me. I at this stage just want to mirror x86_64 bit architecture which if I saw right was under 200gb. What exactly should I look for in the repo if im going to rsync the 64 bit architecture at this stage? I saw a swiss mirror and it had the full enchilada?
Regards, Jonathan
