# How to become an official mirror of The Hardware Book

Terms and conditions:

- Mirror should be public, ie anyone can reach it (thru Internet).
- You must agree to mirror the complete Hardware Book.
- You are not allowed to change anything without our written permission.

Mirror location:

- We would prefer it if everything was placed in a directory called hwb, but it's not a requirement.
- Point your links to index.html

Technical requirements:

- Mirror should be available 24/7
- Bandwidth and connectivity should be good enough to motivate the mirror in that region.
- Mirror should check for updates daily (preferred) or weekly using rsync.

The actual mirroring is done with rsync which only updates changed files. This should be run automatically preferably once a day.
