14.04LTS Linux: Install Squid Deb Proxy
Install or Reinstall Squid-Deb-Proxy (server)
Create and Configure the LVM Volume
If the Linux OS was installed with
/var on its own LVM Volume:- Creating a separate Squid-Deb-Proxy data Volume is redundant in a way that creates unnecessary complication.
- So instead proceed directly to the Install and Configure Squid-Deb-Proxy Server instructions.
Terminal Commands ← to put the Squid Deb Proxy data on it's own LVM volume
- create & configure squid-deb-proxy Logical Volume and Directories from the root command shell
$ sudo -i
First Time (only) … creation of squid-deb-proxy data volume:
# lvcreate -L 50G -n debproxy lts14 # mkfs -t ext4 /dev/mapper/lts14-debproxy
- Install what is needed to use the squid-deb-proxy Logical Volume
# mkdir /mnt/squid-deb-proxy # chown proxy:proxy /mnt/squid-deb-proxy # nano /etc/fstab # add the following line to this file
/dev/mapper/lts14-debproxy /mnt/squid-deb-proxy ext4 defaults 0 2
# exit
RESTART SYSTEM
- again, create & configure squid-deb-proxy Directories from the root command shell
$ sudo -i
First Time (only) … creation of squid-deb-proxy data directories:
# mkdir /mnt/squid-deb-proxy/log # mkdir /mnt/squid-deb-proxy/cache
- Finish configuring the LVM volume for the squid-deb-proxy install
# ln -s /mnt/squid-deb-proxy/log /var/log/squid-deb-proxy # ln -s /mnt/squid-deb-proxy/cache /var/cache/squid-deb-proxy # exit
Install and Configure Squid-Deb-Proxy Server
$ sudo apt-get install squid-deb-proxy $ cd /etc/squid-deb-proxy/mirror-dstdomain.acl.d $ sudo mv 10-default 10-default.old $ sudo nano 10-default # copy & paste the following into this empty file
- 10-default
# /etc/squid-deb-proxy/mirror-dstdomain.acl.d/10-default # # network destinations that are allowed by this cache # linux distro archives .linuxmint.com uberstudent.net archive.ubuntustudio.org repo.linuxliteos.com packages.medibuntu.org # Medibuntu repository no longer exits ... permit Internet DNS error # launchpad personal package archives ppa.launchpad.net # system & development package archives .mate-desktop.org download.bitdefender.com download.virtualbox.org dlc-cdn.sun.com download.opensuse.org nginx.org dl.hhvm.com # additional mirror domains mega.nz mega.co.nz linux.dropbox.com deb.torproject.org dl.google.com deb.opera.com repo.steampowered.com archive.getdeb.net mirrors.dotsrc.org
Install Squid-Deb-Proxy (client)
- install the client package to enable this system using the squid-deb-proxy server
$ sudo apt-get install squid-deb-proxy-client
RESTART SYSTEM
Workstation Install Squid-Deb-Proxy Client
Linux Mint uses .deb files to install packages and updates. So for any location that uses multiple Linux computers, downloading these .deb files once, then storing them locally on the network, can make a tremendous difference to how fast installing programs or doing updates happens. (Only the 1st computer has to waaait for the needed .deb files to download from the Internet.)
- enable using a squid-deb-proxy server – if there is one on the local network
$ sudo apt-get install squid-deb-proxy-client
… Make certain “
-client” is at the end of the above command! (Don't install a 2nd .deb server!)
Home Install Squid-Deb-Proxy Client
Linux Mint uses .deb files to install packages and updates. So for any location that uses multiple Linux computers, downloading these .deb files once, then storing them locally on the network, can make a tremendous difference to how fast installing programs or doing updates happens. (Must wait for a file to downoad only the 1st time it is needed.)
Note: Using a .deb proxy can make downloading the needed files amazingly quick – but then the installing part will happen at the same (slow) rate – with or without a .deb proxy.
