basic

The smallest viable apt-proxy deployment: one container, default settings, local in-container cache. Useful for trying apt-proxy out on a single host.

Run

cd examples/basic
docker compose up -d

Verify

curl -I http://127.0.0.1:3142/healthz

curl -x http://127.0.0.1:3142 \
     http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/Release

Use it from clients

Point apt at the proxy on the host (Linux client example):

echo 'Acquire::http::Proxy "http://<host-ip>:3142";' \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00proxy
sudo apt-get update

Notes

• Cache lives inside the container in this example. To persist across restarts, mount a volume at /var/cache/apt-proxy or switch to the ../s3-otterio/ example.
• Need to pin upstream mirrors? See ../specify-mirrors/.
