Mirror Sites for MariaDB

We rely on mirrors to distribute MariaDB to the world through the official download site at download. If you would like to volunteer to become a mirror, thank you! Getting you set up is easy.

How to Become a MariaDB Mirror

The only requirements for becoming a mirror are:

1. A willingness to mirror MariaDB

2. Mirroring is done using rsync

3. An https mirror should be utilised (http mirrors are not accepted any more)

4. Available bandwidth and disk space

Updating Notes

MariaDB will normally have no more than one release per series (10.4, 10.5, etc...) per month. There may be times when this is not the case (such as if a major bug is found), but those times are few.

Timing for release announcements is generally oriented to the U.S. Eastern time zone. So if your mirror only updates less frequently than every 6 hours, have it update after midnight, but before 06:00, U.S. Eastern Time.

With rsync, it is no problem to update several times per day, and doing so is encouraged.

rsync Information

The two primary rsync URLs for mirrors to use are:

USA:

Europe:

Here are suggested rsync commands for a mirror to use:

Be aware that when using the above rsync command, a "mariadb" directory will not be created. Instead, the contents of the mariadb module is rsynced into whatever local folder you specify. We suggest creating a "mariadb" folder for this.

It is also a good idea to test your rsync command before adding it to a cron job by adding the -v --dry-run flags to the command temporarily so you can see what it will do (without actually doing anything).

As of June 2025, running the above command will use around 750GB of disk space in total.

See the for details on what each of the arguments in the command above does.

Secondary rsync mirrors

We also have several secondary rsync mirrors you can pull from. In many instances pulling from the secondary mirror is faster than pulling from the primary rsync mirrors. Here they are, with the country they are located in. Simply replace the rsync URI in the example above with one from this list to use it.

The MariaDB Foundation mirrorbits system

The MariaDB Foundation maintains a mirror manager system (see: ). It is hosted by Hetzner in Germany, it is not available via rsync so you can't use it as a source for your mirror but you are encouraged to use it for your MariaDB installation and deployments. You can check the status of the service at https://mirror.mariadb.org/mirrorstats.

Getting Added to the Mirror List

Once you have initially mirrored the MariaDB release tree, please send an email to (mirror (at) mariadb [dot] org) with the following information:

1. The name of the company or organization sponsoring the mirror (so we can give credit where credit is due).

2. Contact name (and email address) for your mirror (so we know who to contact if there are any issues)

3. The general physical location (e.g. "Paris, France", "Hong Kong", or "Austin, Texas, USA") of the mirror (we use geolocation to try and send people to a mirror close to them).

4. The base public URL for the mirror (e.g. 'http://mirror.example.net/pub/mariadb'

Once we receive your email and verify your mirror is working we'll add you to the list of mirrors. Apologies in advance in case of slow responses - mirror updates are usually batched around release time.

Thank you for volunteering to mirror MariaDB!

The MariaDB Archive

The distributed mirrors above only hold the most recent 3-4 releases of each MariaDB series (10.6, 10.11, etc...). If you need to access older MariaDB releases, there is an archive server that contains every MariaDB release. This server is available via the web at and via rsync at:

Mirroring the MariaDB Archive with rsync

If you want to mirror the archive mirror, please contact us at mirror@mariadb.org in advance.

To mirror the archive with rsync, something like the following will get you everything:

...or you can specify a specific release such as:

Warning, as of June 2025, the entire archive will use around 14 TB of disk space in total, and if you want to keep your mirror up to date (via cron routine for instance), please first compare the STATUS file before doing the rsync. This file is updated anytime a new content is added in the archive tree.

You can use something like the following:

We reserve the right to block IPs that continually rsync the archive mirror when no new content was added, since it uselessly overloads the archive server, which uses a slow remote storage system.

To get a listing of the top level items in the archive including a list of every MariaDB release, just do:
