Hello, I'm attempting to create a mirror of the bullseye-pgdg-archive repository for our internal network, but encountering access restrictions: 

1. HTTPS access returns 403 Forbidden when using debmirror 
2. rsync access (port 873) times out - appears to be unavailable 

Our server details: 
- Location: Netherlands (https://mirror.vptech.eu) 
- Purpose: Internal PostgreSQL package mirror 
- Repository: bullseye-pgdg-archive 

Could you please advise on: 
1. Is rsync access available for apt-archive.postgresql.org? If so, can our IP be whitelisted? 
2. Is there an alternative method for mirroring the archive repository? 


Hi!

rsync access is not available.

The debmirror should work I think. From a quick look it looks like it requires both Release and InRelease files in the repo, and there are only InRelease files in the archive (unlike the non-archive repos). Christoph, can you enlighten us on if that's likely the issue, and if there's a reason it's not there in the archives?
