Feature #11335
Set up the process and tools to allocate unique *.dl.amnesia.boum.org hostnames
100%
Description
It would be nice to be able to actually allocate such unique hostnames, once after Bug #11055 is done mirror operators start asking us :)

FYI, I have some additional local changes that I would like to test before pushing. I don’t think it should block your review, but here’s a spoiler: in add-mirror-subdomain, in the next_free_mirror_id function, we’ll check what the last.dl.amnesia.boum.org CNAME record points to; and when creating a new NNN.dl.a.b.o host name, we’ll make that CNAME point to the newly created host name. It feels like a more robust way to track what’s the highest allocated mirror ID than the previous loop, and contrary to the previous implementation, it doesn’t rely on the fact that there is no hole in the range of the NNN.dl.a.b.o we’ve allocated (which should be more robust against mistakes in the pool management).

Reviewed, and I’m fine! I also prefer the last.dl.amnesia.boum.org trick that the current version. So I’m reassigning to you to push this.

Perfect timing, I just finished this and pushed (check-mirrors & mirrors repositories), so please review the last version. If you want to test the new script, I can clean behind you.

I don’t want to test it just for the sake of testing it. I reviewed the code as far as my scripting skills go and it looks good.
Also, on a slighly related topic, we should decide what to do with the information currently in mirrors.mdwn. I guess we should at least update the list to include the new subdomains. But maybe this will be handled when communicating with mirror operators.

OK, resolved then!

Right. This is now tracked by Feature #11384.

Sure. I’ve been doing it continuously until now, and I intend to go on until we switch production to the new setup.

Not sure what you mean here, please clarify (either here or on Feature #11384 or elsewhere, as you think is best).

You already started doing this in “Please update your Tails mirror
configuration” so my concern is irrelevant now.
