F-Droid's collection of apps and files are run on servers run by the core F-Droid contributors. Originally, this main repository was hosted only on [f-droid.org](https://f-droid.org/), but as F-Droid grew [f-droid.org](https://f-droid.org/) alone was no longer able to handle the entire load. F-Droid now supports "mirror" servers that replicate a full copy of the repositories. Hosting a mirror involves running an HTTPS webserver that has a full copy of the repository synchronized using `rsync`.
 
Requirements
 
There are two official F-Droid repository sections, the "repo" and the "archive". It's most important to mirror the "repo" since it is used much more than the "archive".
 
The primary resources required by a mirror are disk space and upload bandwidth. Bandwidth requirements are reduced with each new mirror, but disk requirements grow at a [reasonable rate](https://ftp.fau.de/cgi-bin/show-ftp-stats.cgi?statstype=2&what=mirrorsize&mirrorname=fdroid&timespan=-1&graphsize=large&submit=Go%21). In March 2019, the primary repository required just over 60GB of disk space in 24K files, and the archive required 300GB of disk space in 52K files. In February 2024, the primary repository required 450GB in 180K files, and the archive required 1.9TB in 430K files. The amount of disk space required grows with every new app release.
 
There are many mirror servers which offer an _rsync_ connection, make sure to select the mirror closest to your mirror server:
 
{% include running-a-mirror-rsync.html %}
{% include running-a-mirror-rsync.html %}
You can find current information on disk space requirements by running the following in your terminal:
 
$ rsync --dry-run --recursive --stats --human-readable ftp.fau.de::fdroid .
 
Setup
 
This guide assumes the use of Nginx with a deb-based distribution, and mirroring the primary repository plus the archive. Please adjust accordingly if you're using alternatives or don't intend to mirror the archive. Also substitute the examples paths and domains for your own.
