vagrant-squid-deb-proxy

Simple squid-deb-proxy image for caching deb packages.

Prerequisites

1. Install VirtualBox
2. Install Vagrant

Installation

1. Clone this repository

    git clone https://github.com/millerjp/vagrant-squid-deb-proxy.git
    cd vagrant-squid-deb-proxy
   

2. The default static IP is 10.211.99.100.

3. Start the VM

    vagrant up
   

4. In the provisioning script for your other VMs, include these steps (adjusting IP address if you've changed it):

    # install and configure for local debian proxy (if present)
    apt-get install squid-deb-proxy-client -y
    echo 'Acquire::http::Proxy "http://10.211.99.100:8000/";' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/30autoproxy
   

5. Now start your other VMs as normal. They should start using this VM as a proxy/cache during any apt-get commands.

Notes

1. Connect up to the VM

    vagrant ssh
   

2. Tail the squid logs

    sudo tail -1000f /var/log/squid-deb-proxy/access.log
