Fastest Servers
A Ruby Script to narrow down a list of mirrors to the fastest servers.
By default, use Ubuntu mirror list hosted at: http://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt
Outputs a mirrors.txt file to /tmp/ in the container. To capture this file for later use, pass through /tmp as a volume mount to Docker Container.
Configuration / Environment Variables
| Variable Name | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
FASTEST_SERVER_LIST_TYPE | Tells script what port to ping servers on. HTTP or NTP (Experimental) | HTTP |
FASTEST_SERVER_INITIAL_TIMEOUT | Initial timeout in seconds used as limit for server ping timeout. If < 5 servers satisfy timeout, add 0.001 to this & retry until >= 5 servers found. | 0.050 (seconds) |
MIRRORLIST_LOCAL_FILE | If specified, use this local file as mirror list input to find fastest servers in list | nil |
MIRRORLIST_HOST | Get MIRRORLIST_URL from this host and use as mirror list input for finding fastest servers | mirrors.ubuntu.com |
MIRRORLIST_URL | Get this URL from MIRRORLIST_HOST & use as mirror list input | /mirrors.txt |
MIRRORLIST_PORT | Port to contact MIRRORLIST_HOST on for getting MIRRORLIST_URL via HTTP | 80 |
FASTEST_SERVER_LIST_OUTPUT | Local file to output final filtered mirror list to. If using docker, ensure you volume mount enclosing directory from host | /tmp/mirrors.txt |
FASTEST_SERVER_DEBUG | Puts script in DEBUG mode, which prints extra information to STDOUT | nil |
Example Usage
To output a list of fastest Ubuntu mirrors to /tmp/mirrors.txt:
sudo docker run -ti -v /tmp/:/tmp/ trinitronx/fastest-servers:latest
To run script in DEBUG mode, pass in environment variable -e FASTEST_SERVER_DEBUG=true:
sudo docker run -ti -e FASTEST_SERVER_DEBUG=true -v /tmp/:/tmp/ trinitronx/fastest-servers:latest
