APT Proxy

ENGLISH | 中文文档

Lightweight APT CHACHE PROXY with only 2MB+ size!

APT Proxy is a Lightweight and Reliable APT & YUM & APK packages (Ubuntu / Debian / CentOS / ALPINE) cache tool, supports a large number of common system and Docker usage.

You can safely use it instead of apt-cacher-ng.

Supported Systems and Architectures

• Linux: x86_64 / x86_32
• ARM: ARM64v8 / ARM32v6 / ARM32v7
• macOS: x86_64 / M1 ARM64v8

Usage

Just run it:

./apt-proxy

2022/06/12 16:15:40 running apt-proxy
2022/06/12 16:15:41 Start benchmarking mirrors
2022/06/12 16:15:41 Finished benchmarking mirrors
2022/06/12 16:15:41 using fastest mirror https://mirrors.company.ltd/ubuntu/
2022/06/12 16:15:41 proxy listening on 0.0.0.0:3142

An APT proxy software with a cache function is started.

Then rewrite the command where you need to execute the apt-get command and execute it:

# `apt-get update` with apt-proxy service
http_proxy=http://your-domain-or-ip-address:3142 apt-get -o pkgProblemResolver=true -o Acquire::http=true update 
# `apt-get install vim -y` with apt-proxy service
http_proxy=http://your-domain-or-ip-address:3142 apt-get -o pkgProblemResolver=true -o Acquire::http=true install vim -y

When we need to execute the above commands repeatedly in batches, the speed of update and installation will be greatly improved.

CentOS 7 / 8

Although CentOS uses Yum instead of APT, APT-Proxy also supports its acceleration (CentOS 7):

cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo | sed -e s/mirrorlist.*$// | sed -e s/#baseurl/baseurl/ | sed -e s#http://mirror.centos.org#http://your-domain-or-ip-address:3142# | tee /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

In CentOS 8, we need to adjust the software source like this:

sed -i -e "s#mirror.centos.org#http://your-domain-or-ip-address:3142#g" /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*
sed -i -e "s/#baseurl/baseurl/" /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*
sed -i -e "s#\$releasever/#8-stream/#" /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*

After adjusting the software source, execute yum update to verify whether the configuration takes effect.

Alpine

Similarly, in addition to providing acceleration for CentOS, it can also provide cache acceleration for Alpine:

cat /etc/apk/repositories | sed -e s#https://.*.alpinelinux.org#http://your-domain-or-ip-address:3142# | tee /etc/apk/repositories

After adjusting the software source, execute apk update to verify whether the configuration takes effect.

Specified Mirror

There are currently two ways to specify:

Use Full URL

# proxy cache for both `ubuntu` and `debian`
./apt-proxy --ubuntu=https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/ --debian=https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/debian/
# proxy cache for `ubuntu` only
./apt-proxy --mode=ubuntu --ubuntu=https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/
# proxy cache for `debian` only
./apt-proxy --mode=debian --debian=https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/debian/

Use Shorthand

go run apt-proxy.go --ubuntu=cn:tsinghua --debian=cn:163
2022/06/15 10:55:26 running apt-proxy
2022/06/15 10:55:26 using specify debian mirror https://mirrors.163.com/debian/
2022/06/15 10:55:26 using specify ubuntu mirror https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/
2022/06/15 10:55:26 proxy listening on 0.0.0.0:3142

Shorthand list:

• cn:tsinghua
• cn:ustc
• cn:163
• cn:aliyun
• cn:huaweicloud
• cn:tencent ...

Speed UP Docker Container

Assuming you have started a container:

# Ubuntu
docker run --rm -it ubuntu
# or Debian
docker run --rm -it debian

And your Apt-Proxy is started on host machine, you can speed up the installation with the following command:

http_proxy=http://host.docker.internal:3142 apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true -o Debug::Acquire::http=true update && \
http_proxy=http://host.docker.internal:3142 apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true -o Debug::Acquire::http=true install vim -y

Docker

Just one command:

docker run -d --name=apt-proxy -p 3142:3142 soulteary/apt-proxy

Options

View configuration items:

./apt-proxy -h

Usage of apt-proxy:
  -alpine string
    	the alpine mirror for fetching packages
  -cachedir string
    	the dir to store cache data in (default "./.aptcache")
  -centos string
    	the centos mirror for fetching packages
  -debian string
    	the debian mirror for fetching packages
  -debug
    	whether to output debugging logging
  -host string
    	the host to bind to (default "0.0.0.0")
  -mode all
    	select the mode of system to cache: all / `ubuntu` / `debian` / `centos` / `alpine` (default "all")
  -port string
    	the port to bind to (default "3142")
  -ubuntu string
    	the ubuntu mirror for fetching packages

[WIP] Development

Start the application in development mode:

go run apt-proxy.go
