@kortschak I don't know much about how data is synced to the VMs - can you comment/leave some details here?

We have a cron job on each of the student machines that does a pull from the server which runs apache hosting the data files.

The server has /var/www/html/sib_2019 as the relevant root and each of the student machines has 0-59 * * * * /usr/local/bin/sync_data in their user crontab where sync_data is

#!/bin/bash
/bin/sleep $((RANDOM%60))
lftp -e "lcd ~/data; mirror -c; exit" http://<redactedip>/sib_2019/data/
