Could anyone broad-stroke the security requirements for something like this? Looks like they'll pay for hosting up to a certain amount, and between that and a pipeline to keep the mirror updated I'd think it wouldn't be tough to get one up and running.

Just looking for theory - what are the logistics behind keeping a mirror like this secure?

Could be worth asking on selfhosted (how do I link a sub on lemmy ?) They probably have more relevant experience at this sort of thing.

Edit

Does this work ?

!selfhosted@lemmy.world might work for more people.

!datahoarder@lemmy.ml

Is probably more suitable. I'd be interested in the total size, though.

900 TB, according to other comments here.

Is it all or nothing sort of deal?

There are partial torrents, also according to the other comments.

They outline it pretty well here:
