Ok the Elixirforum.com mirror is now automatically updated three times a day

If anyone wants the bashscript I am using it is:

#!/bin/bash
cd /path/to/your/elixir-lang.github.com/directory
git pull
jekyll b
rm -rf /path/to/where/you/serve/the/mirror/from/public_html/*
mv /path/to/your/elixir-lang.github.com/directory/_site/* /path/to/where/you/serve/the/mirror/from/public_html/

@OvermindDL1 I use letsencrypt as well, but have never used it on a sub-domain before - I use HAProxy on the front end and Discourse uses Docker (so unusual set-up) and didn’t want to risk any probs with the forum is https a must just for the mirror which is a static site? I would think http is fine as there’s no log-in, etc?

If there is a simple/easy way to mirror Hex docs I’m happy to do that as well

Yes: https://hex.pm/docs/mirrors. Run mix help hex.repo for docs.

I’m of the opinion that https is mandatory everywhere, personally. ^.^
I automated that asap when Let’s Encrypt came out.

I’d like to know too, I have more than enough space so I could mirror it as well. Hex.pm too.

The easiest way would be to set up an HTTP proxy. You can also traverse the API and download the doc tarballs for every release. https://github.com/hexpm/specifications/blob/master/apiary.apib#L383
