+# Mirroring the Monkeysphere web site #
+
+In keeping with the distributed 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
+opted for a simpler rsync of the ikiwiki-produced html files. 
 
-    aptitude update; aptitutde install git-core ikiwiki
+## Initial steps to take on the mirror server ##
 
-	* Create a new user. Change the new users shell to git-shell:
+Create a new user. 
 
-    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:
+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)
+Add `webmaster@george`'s public key to this user's
+`~/.ssh/authorized_keys` file, restricting that user to rsync (modify
+path to web directory as needed):
 
-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. 
+## Admin steps to take to enable the configuration ##
 
- * Test the ssh connection by logging in as webmaster@george.riseup.net
+Add a new dns record for SERVERNAME.monkeysphere.info. 
 
- * Add the new server as a remote on
-	webmaster@george.riseup.net:monkeysphere.git
+If the mirror server is not participating in the monkeysphere, add the
+server to webmaster's known host file.
 
-    cd ~/monkeysphere.git
-    git add remote SERVERNAME USER@SERVERNAME.monkeysphere.info:/path/to/repo
+Add the new server to `webmaster@george:~/mirrors` in the format:
 
- * Test:
+    username@server:directory
 
-    git push SERVERNAME
+Test by manually running the git post-receive hook as
+`webmaster@george`:
 
+    ~/monkeysphere.git/hooks/post-receive
 
-    
+Add a new `A` record into the `web.monkeysphere.info` round robin.
