A dockerized package manager HTTP proxy

package-manager-cache is a docker container image which provides optimized HTTP caching for the following sources:

• apt repositories (for Debian-based operating systems)
• yum repositories (for RedHat-based operating systems)

It's based on:

• Squid HTTP proxy
• storeid-wrapper, a Python script which reduce cache misses for files hosted on differents mirrors

Usage

Run the proxy

docker run \
	-it \
	--publish 18080:18080 \
	--ulimit nofile=65535:65535 \
	--volume /mnt/persistent-storage/data:/var/cache/squid \
	--volume /var/log/vmc-cacher:/var/log/squid \
	lionelnicolas/package-manager-cache

N.B. The ulimit option may be dropped if file descriptor exhaustion is not an issue on a given system.
