+[[meta title="Mirroring the web site"]]
+
+In keeping with the philosophy of distributed development, our web site is
+stored in our git repositories and converted into html by
+[ikiwiki](http://ikiwiki.info/).
+
+We're mirrored on several servers. Rather than using ikiwiki's [pinger/pingee
+approach to distribution](http://ikiwiki.info/tips/distributed_wikis/), we've
+opted for a method that uses ssh.
+
+The steps for creating a new mirror are:
+
+ * Add etch-backports to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
+               deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib non-free
+ * Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/preferences file:
+               Package: ikiwiki
+               Pin: release a=etch-backports
+               Pin-Priority: 999
+
+               # needed by ikiwiki
+               Package: libcgi-formbuilder-perl
+               Pin: release a=etch-backports
+               Pin-Priority: 999
+               
+               Package: git-core 
+               Pin: release a=etch-backports
+               Pin-Priority: 999
+       * Install git-core and ikiwiki
+               aptitude update; aptitutde install git-core ikiwiki
+       * Create a new user. Change the new users shell to git-shell:
+               adduser -s /usr/bin/git-shell <username>
+       * Add webmaster@george's public key to this user's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file
+       * Add web site configuration that the user has write access to. If you are using Apache, include the following rewrite:
+               RewriteEngine On
+               RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(YOURHOSTNAME|web)\.monkeysphere\.info$ [NC]
+               RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
+               RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://web.monkeysphere.info/$1 [L,R]
+       * Upload and edit ikiwiki.setup.sample from the docs directory
+       * As the new user, create two new git repos
+               mkdir monkeysphere.git; cd monkeysphere.git; git init --bare; cd ../
+               git clone monkeysphere.git # this will create a second git repo called monkeysphere
+       * Change the mode of monkeysphere.git/hooks/post-receive to 755
+               chmod 755 monkesphere.git/hooks/post-receive
+       * Edit the file so that it executes the post-receive hook ikiwiki generates (as you specified in the ikiwiki.setup file)
+
+The steps to be taken on the mirror site should now be complete. The following steps should be taken by a Monkeysphere admin user:
+
+ * Add a new dns record for SERVERNAME.monkeysphere.info. 
+ * Test the ssh connection by logging in as webmaster@george.riseup.net
+ * Add the new server as a remote on webmaster@george.riseup.net:monkeysphere.git
+               cd ~/monkeysphere.git
+               git add remote SERVERNAME USER@SERVERNAME.monkeysphere.info:/path/to/repo
+ * Test:
+               git pusch SERVERNAME
+
