Very much a work-in-progress, but NNTP and HTTP/HTTPS sorta work based on stuff that is on gmane and stuff I'm accumulating by being a subscriber.

The first two Tor hidden service onions are actually on better hardware than the non-hidden public-inbox.org one:

nntp://hjrcffqmbrq6wope.onion/inbox.comp.version-control.git nntp://czquwvybam4bgbro.onion/inbox.comp.version-control.git nntp://ou63pmih66umazou.onion/inbox.comp.version-control.git nntp://news.public-inbox.org/inbox.comp.version-control.git

http://czquwvybam4bgbro.onion/git http://hjrcffqmbrq6wope.onion/git http://ou63pmih66umazou.onion/git https://public-inbox.org/git/

HTTP URLs are clonable, but I've generated the following fast-export dump:
	https://public-inbox.org/.temp/git.vger.kernel.org-6c38c917e55c.gz
	(362M)
	git init --bare mirror.git
	curl $FAST_EXPORT_GZ_URL | git --git-dir=mirror.git fast-import
	git --git-dir=mirror.git remote add --mirror=fetch origin $URL

I recommend bare repos for importing, since the trees consist of 2/38 SHA-1 paths of Message-IDs and there's nearly 300K messages.

In contrast, bundles and packs delta poorly and only get down around 750-800M with aggressive packing (And I haven't done that in a while.)

Code is AGPL-3.0+: git clone https://public-inbox.org/

Additional mirrors or forks (perhaps different UIs) are very welcome, as I expect none of my servers or network connections to be reliable.

I have the "public-inbox-watch" command running in screen watching my Maildirs, it uses a config file which is parseable/writable using git-config:

==> ~/.public-inbox/config <==
[publicinboxlearn]
	; spam gets moved here for auto-removal:
	watchspam = maildir:/path/to/maildirs/.INBOX.spam
[publicinboxwatch]
	; optional, adds some additional spam checking
	spamcheck = spamc
[publicinbox "git"]
	; git repo for this list
	mainrepo = /path/to/mirror.git
	; this removes the list footer signature:
	filter = PublicInbox::Filter::Vger
	; this is where my git-related mail goes (some of it is from Debian)
	watch = maildir:/path/to/maildirs/.INBOX.git
	; only match messages with the correct List-Id header:
	watchheader = List-Id:<git.vger.kernel.org>
	; next 4 lines are only necessary for HTTP and NNTP servers
	address = git@vger.kernel.org
	url = http://ou63pmih66umazou.onion/git
	newsgroup = inbox.comp.version-control.git
	infourl = http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
