---------------------------------------- Proper mirroring April 29th, 2018 ---------------------------------------- A few folks were kind enough to let me know that my recent experiments with tor [0][1] broke my gopher hole mirrored on SDF and tilde.town. In reality, those mirrors weren't all that useful in the first place. All the links in my gophermaps to internal resources were using full, complete hostnames & ports. Thus, if you went to SDF, after link #1 you were really over on gopher.black anyway. (DIR) [0] gopher.black on tor, part 1 (DIR) [1] gopher.black on tor, part 2 This wasn't ideal, but it was low priority. It worked well enough, right? When I removed the explicit hostname & port info from gophermaps to allow my dual server goodness for tor, suddenly SDF and tilde.town thought that my links were legitimately local. There was just one problem... my content paths are different on all three systems. On gopher.black, / is mine. Everything starts there. On SDF, /users/tomasino is mine. On tilde.town, /~tomasino is mine The fix didn't take a ton of work since I already had a pretty solid foundation for mirroring the content. I have a local copy of my gopher git repo on those boxes and a cron-job that pulls it four times a day. Simple! Well, now I have a little extra goodness in there. The update process looks like so: - Fetch the remote - Check the SHA of the latest commit in HEAD vs origin/master - If different: - force reset the local head - pull origin/master - find all gophermaps and use sed to replace root paths - touch the local folder (for SDF's phlog list) Here's the code [2]: (HTM) [2] sdf-update-gopher It's not the cleanest. I could remove the pushd/popd stuff. It's legacy from a much more complex process time. The sed command is cumbersome as well. I could have matched \t/[^\t]*$ instead, but it works. So, like most of my stuff... good enough. A final note: Moku Pona & my reading lists are local cron tasks on gopher.black that update quite often. To avoid a bajillion commits to my gopher repo I don't include them at all. That means my moku-pona list and reading lists are not available on SDF or tilde.town. All the rest of the goods are there, though. Enjoy & stuff!
