Debian: apt-cacher-ng

A caching proxy. Specialized for package files from Linux distributors, primarily for Debian (and Debian based) distributions but not limited to those.

Step 1: Install Packages

The ModSecurity module for Apache is included in the default Debian/Ubuntu repository. To install it, run

# sudo apt install apt-cacher-ng

Enable the service and start it

# sudo systemctl enable apt-cacher-ng
# sudo systemctl start apt-cacher-ng

Step 2: Configure apt-cacher-ng

In the /etc/apt-cahcer-ng/acng.conf configuration file, change and set the following options:

PassThroughPattern: .*
VerboseLog: 2

Step 3: Configure clients

On each of the clients that you want to automatically set caching through the new apt-caching server, define the following inĀ  /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy

Acquire::http::proxy "http://your-apt-cacher-server.com:3142/";
