However, for the absolute most bleeding edge up-to-date version of Canoeboot, there is a Git repository that you can download from. Go here:

How to download Canoeboot from Git

Canoeboot releases are hosted on the same Rsync server as Libreboot, and mirrors pick this up; look in the canoeboot directory on Libreboot mirrors. For your convenience, these are linked below (on the mirror lists).

The latest release is Canoeboot 25.06, under the canoeboot directory.

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

You can download Canoeboot from these mirrors:

• https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/libreboot.org/release/canoeboot/ (University of Kent, UK)
• https://mirrors.mit.edu/libreboot/canoeboot/ (MIT university, USA)
• https://mirror.math.princeton.edu/pub/libreboot/canoeboot/ (Princeton university, USA)
• https://mirror.shapovalov.website/libreboot/canoeboot/ (shapovalov.website, Ukraine)
• https://mirror.koddos.net/libreboot/canoeboot/ (koddos.net, Netherlands)
• https://mirror-hk.koddos.net/libreboot/canoeboot/ (koddos.net, Hong Kong)
• https://mirror.cyberbits.eu/libreboot/canoeboot/ (cyberbits.eu, France)

The following rsync mirrors are available publicly:

• rsync://rsync.mirrorservice.org/libreboot.org/release/canoeboot/ (University of Kent, UK)
• rsync://mirror.math.princeton.edu/pub/libreboot/canoeboot/ (Princeton university, USA)
• rsync://rsync.shapovalov.website/libreboot/canoeboot/ (shapovalov.website, Ukraine)
• rsync://ftp.linux.ro/libreboot/canoeboot/ (linux.ro, Romania)
• rsync://mirror.koddos.net/libreboot/canoeboot/ (koddos.net, Netherlands)
• rsync://mirror-hk.koddos.net/libreboot/canoeboot/ (koddos.net, Hong Kong)

The official RSYNC server for Canoeboot is: rsync://rsync.libreboot.org/mirrormirror/ - Please find Canoeboot in the canoeboot directory, on that site.

You can mirror from the official Libreboot server, and then contact the Libreboot project informing about your new mirror. It will then be listed on this page.

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.

NOTE: the rsync commands below will only download canoeboot. Remove the canoeboot/ part at the end of each path, if you also want to download all of Libreboot; Libreboot and Canoeboot share the same Rsync server.

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

mkdir /var/www/html/libreboot/canoeboot/

Now you can run rsync, for instance:

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

The latest release is Canoeboot 25.06, under the canoeboot directory.

WARNING: these mirrors are non-HTTPS which means that they are unencrypted. Your traffic could be subject to interference by adversaries. Make especially sure to check the GPG signatures, assuming that you have the right key. Of course, you should do this anyway, even if using HTTPS.
