Container to run squid proxy cache for rpm, deb, and other packages.
To deploy
docker pull koffin/squidward and then
docker run -itd --name squid --publish 3128:3128 --volume </HOST_MACHINE/PATH/CACHE>:/var/cache/squid squid
An example:
docker run -itd --name squid --publish 3128:3128 --volume /private/var/spool/squid:/var/cache/squid squid
OR
docker run --name squid -d --restart=always \
--publish 3128:3128 \
--volume /private/var/spool/squid:/var/cache/squid \
koffin/squidward
Point any and all clients you want to use the cache proxy to the server's IP address that is running docker and append port 3128 to it.
An example:
http://192.168.1.1:3128
On an a linux client machine you can temporarily add it by exporting the command to your environment:
export {http,https,ftp}_proxy="http://PROXY_SERVER:PORT"
To remove them:
unset {http,https,ftp}_proxy
To make this permanent on Ubuntu, set up something in your /etc/environment file:
http_proxy=http://10.1.1.1:3128/
https_proxy=http://10.1.1.1:3128/
ftp_proxy=http://10.1.1.1:3128/
no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1,localaddress,.localdomain.com"
HTTP_PROXY=http://10.1.1.1:3128/
HTTPS_PROXY=10.1.1.1:3128/
FTP_PROXY=10.1.1.1:3128/
NO_PROXY="localhost,127.0.0.1,localaddress,.localdomain.com"
Acquire::http::proxy "http://10.1.1.1:3128";
Acquire::ftp::proxy "http://10.1.1.1:3128";
Acquire::https::proxy "http://10.1.1.1:3128";
The create a file called 95proxies in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ with the following content in it:
Acquire::http::proxy "http://myproxy.server.com:8080/";
Acquire::ftp::proxy "ftp://myproxy.server.com:8080/";
Acquire::https::proxy "https://myproxy.server.com:8080/";
To make this permanent on RHEL/CENT distros, add this to the /etc/yum.conf file:
proxy=http://mycache.mydomain.com:3128
Obviously replace the server address with yours.
