How to download Canoeboot from Git

The latest release is Canoeboot 26.11.

These mirrors are recommended, since they use TLS (https://) encryption.

You can download Canoeboot from these mirrors:

• https://rsync.canoeboot.org/

The following rsync mirrors are available publicly:

• rsync://rsync.canoeboot.org/canoeboot/ (Canoeboot.org)

The official RSYNC server for Canoeboot is: rsync://rsync.canoeboot.org/canoeboot/

It is requested, by the Canoeboot project, that only mirrors pull from the official Rsync. Everyone else should use one of the third party mirrors. Thank you.

It is highly recommended that you use the canoeboot.org mirror, if you wish to host an official mirror. Otherwise, if you simply want to create your own local mirror, you should use one of the other mirrors, which sync from canoeboot.org.

Before you create the mirror, make a directory on your web server. For example:

mkdir /var/www/html/canoeboot/

Now you can run rsync, for instance:

rsync -avz --delete-after rsync://rsync.canoeboot.org/canoeboot/ /var/www/html/canoeboot/

You might put this in an hourly crontab. For example:

crontab -e

Then in crontab, add this line and save/exit (hourly crontab):

0 * * * * rsync -avz --delete-after rsync://rsync.canoeboot.org/canoeboot/ /var/www/html/canoeboot/

It’s extremely important to have the final forward slash (/) at the end of each path, in the above rsync command. Otherwise, rsync will behave very strangely.

If you wish to regularly keep your rsync mirror updated, you can add it to a crontab. This page tells you how to use crontab: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/crontab.5.html

NOTE: Some people use systemd timers now instead of crontab. That’s OK too! Whatever floats your boat.
