[apt-cacher](apt://apt-cacher) and [apt-cacher-ng](apt://apt-cacher-ng) both act as a proxy between `apt-get` or
|
||
|
|
`aptitude` and the Debian repositories. It stores the packages upon first request and loads them from cache on further
|
||
|
|
ones. If you have 2 or more Ubuntu PCs in your network, you can save a massive amount of bandwidth with it.

Installation
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Install the package [apt-cacher](apt://apt-cacher) or [apt-cacher-ng](apt://apt-cacher-ng)
|
||
|
|
1. Make sure it is running (sometimes you might have to edit a file `/etc/default/apt-cacher` or
|
||
|
|
`/etc/default/apt-cacher-ng` to enable it)
|
||
|
|
1. Now do the following on **ALL PCs** in your network - including the one with `apt-cacher(-ng)` installed:
|
||
|
|
* Create a file `/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy` with the following contents: (replace the IP by the IP of the PC with
|
||
|
|
`apt-cacher(-ng)` installed)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.0.1:3142";
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Create a file `/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99clean` with the following contents: (this will keep the local apt-cache clean)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DPkg::Post-Invoke {"/usr/bin/find /var/cache/apt/archives/ -type f -mtime 2 -name *.deb -exec /bin/rm -f {} \; || true";};
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That was it. All packages will be cached on the `apt-cacher(-ng)`-PC and the local caches will be kept clean.
