     <h1>How to Contribute</h1>
       <h2 id="becomemirror">Become a mirror</h2>

       <p>You can assist the LFS project by providing an HTTP or FTP mirror.
       The HTTP mirrors provide the LFS website, books, patches and hints.  The
       FTP mirrors can provide a number of services including LFS packages and
       BLFS packages.  The requirements for the various mirrors are listed
       below.  If you would like to become a mirror, please set it up and send
       an email with the data requested below to the website maintainer, <a
       href="mailto:webmaster@linuxfromscratch.org">webmaster@linuxfromscratch.org</a>.
       Thank you.  </p>

       <h3 id="requirements">Requirements</h3>

       <p>Here is a list of requirements for the various mirrors.  All mirrors
       require that you use <a
       href="/blfs/view/stable/basicnet/rsync.html">rsync</a> to sync your
       mirrors with our main servers, and a <a
       href="/blfs/view/stable/general/fcron.html">cron</a> program to schedule
       it for you.</p>

       <p>You can find inexpensive
       <a  href="http://www.webhostingsearch.com/linux-web-hosting.php"
       onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;"
       onkeypress="window.open(this.href); return false;">linux web hosting</a>
       or an entire
       <a href="http://www.webhostingsearch.com/dedicated-server.php"
       onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;"
       onkeypress="window.open(this.href); return false;">dedicated server</a>
       for your mirror at
       <a href="http://www.webhostingsearch.com"
       onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;"
       onkeypress="window.open(this.href); return false;">Web Hosting
       Search</a>.</p>

       <h4>HTTP Mirror</h4>
       <ul>
          <li>At least 5 GB of disk space.</li>

          <li>
          <a href="/blfs/view/stable/server/majorservers.html#apache">Apache
          Webserver</a> or equivalent with the following options enabled:

             <ul>
                <li>Indexes</li>
                <li>FollowSymlinks</li>
                <li>IncludesNOEXEC (requires mod_include.so)</li>
             </ul>
          </li>

          <li>
            If you want to use Nginx instead of Apache, the following
            options should be used:
            <ul>
              <li>ssi on; (requires ngx_http_ssi_module)</li>
              <li>disable_symlinks off;</li>
              <li>autoindex on;</li>
            </ul>
          </li>
       </ul>

       <p>To set up the mirror, use the following rsync instruction in a cron script:</p>

       <code>/usr/bin/rsync -lprt --delete www.linuxfromscratch.org::lfs-website /srv/www/lfs</code>

     <h4>LFS and BLFS FTP Mirrors</h4>
     <ul>
        <li>At least 800 GB of disk space.</li>
        <li>The path to the mirror being &quot;/pub/lfs/&quot; and
        &quot;/pub/blfs/&quot; if possible.</li>
     </ul>

     <p>To set up the ftp mirrors, use the rsync instructions in a cron script:</p>

     <code>/usr/bin/rsync -lprt --delete rsync.osuosl.org::lfs  /srv/ftp/LFS<br/>
     /usr/bin/rsync -lprt --delete rsync2.osuosl.org::blfs /srv/ftp/BLFS</code>

     <h4>Still interested?</h4>

     following information to the appropriate list or the webmaster.</p>
