Description: Apt-Cacher NG Apt-Cacher NG is a caching proxy for software packages which are downloaded by Unix/Linux system distribution mechanisms from mirror servers accessible via HTTP. If you have many Debian/Ubuntu machines on your network, you just have to download the deb packages (new software, updates, distro upgrades, etc) from the internet once and the rest of the Debian/Ubuntu machines get them from Apt-Cacher NG cache, saving time and internet bandwidth. Follow these steps:
Steps:
-
Installation: apt-get install apt-cacher-ng
-
Restart Apt-Cacher-NG: /etc/init.d/apt-cacher-ng restart
-
There are two ways use apt-cacher-ng
- Specify the caching machine as HTTP Proxy for APT, E.g. Putting a line like the following into a file like /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy
Acquire::http { proxy “http://your-apt-cacher-ng-server:3142”; };
Edit sources.list and replace
###### Ubuntu Main Repos
deb http://vn.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://vn.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted universe multiverse
- Now become
###### Ubuntu Main Repos
deb http://your-apt-cacher-ng-server:3142/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://your-apt-cacher-ng-server:3142/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted universe multiverse
Trick: Use this command to : just change "server" to the name/ip of your machine
sudo perl -i.bak -pe ‘s/http:\/\//http:\/\/server:3142\//g’ /etc/apt/sources.list
