mirror.iith.ac.in Status Scope

Note: This is not a public mirror. It is a private mirror for use inside IIT Hyderabad (IITH).
External access is not available.

📌 Overview

mirror.iith.ac.in hosts a local package and ISO mirror to reduce external bandwidth usage and improve speed for users inside IITH.
Currently supported:

  • Ubuntu Releases (ISOs, CD Images)
  • APT Proxy via apt-cacher-ng

Other Linux distributions will be supported later.

📂 Available Paths

⚡ Usage Guide (for IITH users)

1. Use for APT Updates

Update your /etc/apt/sources.list to point to the mirror proxy:

sudo sed -i 's|http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/|http://mirror.iith.ac.in/apt/ubuntu/|g' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt update

2. Download Ubuntu ISOs

Instead of using external mirrors, directly download ISOs from:

http://mirror.iith.ac.in/ubuntu-releases/

⚠️ Notes

  • This mirror is intended only for IITH internal network users.
  • External/public use is not supported.
  • Storage is limited; hence, not all versions may be retained.

🚀 Roadmap

  • Add support for other distributions (Arch Linux, Fedora, Debian, etc.)
  • Provide rsync access for internal mirroring.
  • Add monitoring and usage statistics dashboard.

🛠️ Setup Details (for admins)

  • Web Server: Caddy
  • APT Proxy: apt-cacher-ng
  • Sync: rsync from official upstream mirrors
