This is really annoying. I can offer free VPS for hosting it.

Sönke - see e.g.

https://github.com/dlang/ci/issues/190

BTW interestingly, this one mirror seems to be the most stable 
one:

https://dub-registry.herokuapp.com

You can build the Dub registry (assuming you can contact 
code.dlang.org enough to build it), then run it with 
--mirror=https://code.dlang.org/

It requires categories.json, which is in the root of the git 
repo. Note that if you use the latest tag, 2.2.0, categories.json 
is out of date. The categories.json from HEAD works with this tag.

To use it, just alias `dub` to `command dub --registry 
https://my-registry.example.org`

It depends on mongodb (3.4 should work; 2.6.10, which is the 
latest in ubuntu 16.04's repos, will *not*) and, by default at 
least, expects a database named 'vpmreg'. You'll probably want to 
put up apache or nginx as a reverse proxy to handle ipv4 plus 
ipv6 (dub-registry is hardcoded to listen on only one address) 
and SSL.

https://gist.github.com/dhasenan/67f7191a56fc663a729395429b6400b8 
for the systemd service.

I'm not sure if this actually works. I set one up at 
http://dub.ikeran.org; it sucked up 99.3% of my CPU for eight 
minutes and told me it had an error reading from 
https://code.dlang.org.

This should be documented in the README.md but isn't. I will 
augment it with what information I have.

I *think* what happened is: the API gives gzipped data, but 
dub-registry can't handle gzipped data. I pointed dub.ikeran.org 
to a file on disk and it managed to load 1274 packages or so.

I'm going to add a cron job to grab and un-gzip data from 
upstream and call it a day.
