Instructions on how to set up a Kicksecure Download Mirror

New Mirrors

Currently not looking for mirrors.

Please post your contact information and/or website in the forums if you would like to offer a mirror in case in the future more mirrors are needed.

Old forum thread can be used: https://forums.whonix.org/t/looking-for-mirror-hosts-mirroring-instructions-updated/231/15

Requirements

Both, a Kicksecure mirror as well as a Whonix mirror will be required. This is because for simplicity there is only 1 list of mirrors which is shared in both wikis.

rsync from kicksecure.com

Overview

• Available over encrypted clearnet port 874. (Default port by openssl-rsync.)
• Available over encrypted clearnet port 1874. (Default port by Debian ftpsync package, rsync-ssl-tunnel script.)
• Available over encrypted onion, port 873. (rsync default port.)

Security advice:

• Encrypted rsync is better.
• rsync over onion is best.

Commands below use for testing:

• --dry-run

Therefore:

• Later for production you might wish to drop --dry-run and change the destination folder from ~/kicksecure to a folder of your choice such as /var/www/kicksecure.

preparation

sudo apt install rsync

unencrypted rsync

Deprecated. Please use either,

• A) TLS encrypted rsync, or
• B) rsync over onion as documented below.

encrypted rsync over TLS

rsync-ssl --dry-run --recursive --delete --times --perms rsync://kicksecure.com/kicksecure ~/kicksecure

encrypted rsync over onion

Preparation.

sudo apt install torsocks rsync

rsync over onion from Kicksecure onion.

torsocks rsync --dry-run --recursive --delete --times --perms "rsync://w5j6stm77zs6652pgsij4awcjeel3eco7kvipheu6mtr623eyyehj4yd.onion/kicksecure" ~/kicksecure
