# # IMPORTANT NOTE: # # THIS FILE IS MAYBE JUST ONE OF MANY CONFIGURATION FILES IN THIS DIRECTORY. # SETTINGS MADE IN OTHER FILES CAN OVERRIDE VALUES THAT YOU CHANGE HERE. GO # LOOK FOR OTHER CONFIGURATION FILES! CHECK THE MANUAL AND INSTALLATION NOTES # (like README.Debian) FOR MORE DETAILS! # # This is a configuration file for apt-cacher-ng, a smart caching proxy for # software package downloads. It's supposed to be in a directory specified by # the -c option of apt-cacher-ng, see apt-cacher-ng(8) for details. # RULES: # Letter case in variable names does not matter, names and values should be # separated with colons. For boolean variables, zero number is considered false, # non-zero considered true. If a default value is not explicitly mentioned in # the description, the commented value assignments mostly represent the default # values of the particular variables. # Storage directory for downloaded data and related maintenance activity. # CacheDir: /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng # Log file directory, can be set empty to disable logging # LogDir: /var/log/apt-cacher-ng # A place to look for additional configuration and resource files if they are not # found in the configuration directory # SupportDir: /usr/lib/apt-cacher-ng # TCP server port for incoming http (or HTTP proxy) connections. # Can be set to 9999 to emulate apt-proxy. Value of 0 turns off TCP server # (SocketPath must be set in this case). # Port:8082 # Addresses or hostnames to listen on. Multiple addresses must be separated by # spaces. Each entry must be an exact local address which is associated with a # local interface. DNS resolution is performed using getaddrinfo(3) for all # available protocols (IPv4, IPv6, ...). Using a protocol specific format will # create binding(s) only on protocol specific socket(s), e.g. 0.0.0.0 will # listen only to IPv4. # # Default: listens on all interfaces and protocols # # BindAddress: localhost 192.168.7.254 publicNameOnMainInterface # The specification of another HTTP proxy which shall be used for downloads. # It can include user name and password but see the manual for limitations. # # Default: uses direct connection # # Proxy: http://www-proxy.example.net:3128 # Proxy: https://username:proxypassword@proxy.example.net:3129 # Repository remapping.

Non-zero value triggers at least faster log file flushing. # # Some higher bits only working with a special debug build of apt-cacher-ng, # see the manual for details. # # WARNING: this can write significant amount of data into apt-cacher.err logfile. # # Default: 0 # # Debug:3 # Usually, general purpose proxies like Squid expose the IP address of the # client user to the remote server using the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header. This # behaviour can be optionally turned on with the Expose-Origin option. # # ExposeOrigin: 0 # When logging the originating IP address, trust the information supplied by # the client in the X-Forwarded-For header. # # LogSubmittedOrigin: 0 # The version string reported to the peer, to be displayed as HTTP client (and # version) in the logs of the mirror. # # WARNING: Expect side effects! Some archives use this header to guess # capabilities of the client (i.e. allow redirection and/or https links) and # change their behaviour accordingly but ACNG might not support the expected # features. # # Default: # # UserAgent: Yet Another HTTP Client/1.2.3p4 # In some cases the Import and Expiration tasks might create fresh volatile # data for internal use by reconstructing them using patch files. This # by-product might be recompressed with bzip2 and with some luck the resulting # file becomes identical to the *.bz2 file on the server which can be used by # APT when requesting a complete version of this file. # The downside of this feature is higher CPU load on the server during # the maintenance tasks, and the outcome might have not much value in a LAN # where all clients update their data often and regularly and therefore usually # don't need the full version of the index file. # # RecompBz2: 0 # Network timeout for outgoing connections, in seconds. # # NetworkTimeout: 60 # Sometimes it makes sense to not store the data in cache and just return the # package data to client while it comes in. The following DontCache* parameters # can enable this behaviour for certain URL types. The tokens are extended # regular expressions which the URLs are evaluated against. # # DontCacheRequested is applied to the URL as it comes in from the client. # Example: exclude packages built with kernel-package for x86 # DontCacheRequested: linux-.*_10\...\.Custo._i386 # Example usecase: exclude popular private IP ranges from caching # DontCacheRequested: 192.168.0 ^10\..* 172.30 # # DontCacheResolved is applied to URLs after mapping to the target server. If # multiple backend servers are specified then it's only matched against the # download link for the FIRST possible source (due to implementation limits). # # Example usecase: all Ubuntu stuff comes from a local mirror (specified as # backend), don't cache it again: # DontCacheResolved: ubuntumirror.local.net # # DontCache directive sets (overrides) both, DontCacheResolved and # DontCacheRequested. Provided for convenience, see those directives for # details. # # Example: # DontCache: .*.local.university.int DontCache: .*fedora.*updates.*updateinfo.xml.zck .*fedora.*updates.*repomd.xml #DontCache: .*fedora.*updates.*updateinfo.xml.zck # Default permission set of freshly created files and directories, as octal # numbers (see chmod(1) for details). # Can by limited by the umask value (see umask(2) for details) if it's set in # the environment of the starting shell, e.g. in apt-cacher-ng init script or # in its configuration file. # # DirPerms: 00755 # FilePerms: 00664 # It's possible to use use apt-cacher-ng as a regular web server with a limited # feature set, i.e. directory browsing, downloads of any files, Content-Type # based on /etc/mime.types, but without sorting, CGI execution, index page # redirection and other funny things. # To get this behavior, mappings between virtual directories and real # directories on the server must be defined with the LocalDirs directive. # Virtual and real directories are separated by spaces, multiple pairs are # separated by semi-colons. Real directories must be absolute paths. # NOTE: Since the names of that key directories share the same namespace as # repository names (see Remap-...) it is administrator's job to avoid conflicts # between them or explicitly create them. # # LocalDirs: woo /data/debarchive/woody ; hamm /data/debarchive/hamm LocalDirs: acng-doc /usr/share/doc/apt-cacher-ng # Precache a set of files referenced by specified index files. This can be used # to create a partial mirror usable for offline work. There are certain limits # and restrictions on the path specification, see manual and the cache control # web site for details. A list of (maybe) relevant index files could be # retrieved via "apt-get --print-uris update" on a client machine. # # Example: # PrecacheFor: debrep/dists/unstable/*/source/Sources* debrep/dists/unstable/*/binary-amd64/Packages* # Arbitrary set of data to append to request headers sent over the wire. Should # be a well formated HTTP headers part including newlines (DOS style) which # can be entered as escape sequences (\r\n). # # RequestAppendix: X-Tracking-Choice: do-not-track\r\n # Specifies the IP protocol families to use for remote connections. Order does # matter, first specified are considered first. Possible combinations: # v6 v4 # v4 v6 # v6 # v4 # Default: use native order of the system's TCP/IP stack, influenced by the # BindAddress value. # # ConnectProto: v6 v4 # Regular expiration algorithm finds package files which are no longer listed # in any index file and removes them of them after a safety period. # This option allows to keep more versions of a package in the cache after # the safety period is over. # # KeepExtraVersions: 0 # Optionally uses TCP access control provided by libwrap, see hosts_access(5) # for details. Daemon name is apt-cacher-ng. # # Default: guessed on startup by looking for explicit mention of apt-cacher-ng # in /etc/hosts.allow or /etc/hosts.deny files. # # UseWrap: 0 # If many machines from the same local network attempt to update index files # (apt-get update) at nearly the same time, the known state of these index file # is temporarily frozen and multiple requests receive the cached response # without contacting the remote server again. This parameter (in seconds) # specifies the length of this period before these (volatile) files are # considered outdated. # Setting this value too low transfers more data and increases remote server # load, setting this too high (more than a couple of minutes) increases the # risk of delivering inconsistent responses to the clients. # # FreshIndexMaxAge: 27 # Usually the users are not allowed to specify custom TCP ports of remote # mirrors in the requests, only the default HTTP port can be used (as # workaround, proxy administrator can create Remap- rules with custom ports). # This restriction can be disabled by specifying a list of allowed ports or 0 # for any port. # # AllowUserPorts: 80 443 AllowUserPorts: 80 443 # Normally the HTTP redirection responses are forwarded to the original caller # (i.e. APT) which starts a new download attempt from the new URL. This # solution is ok for client configurations with proxy mode but doesn't work # well with configurations using URL prefixes in sources.list. To work around # this the server can restart its own download with a redirection URL, # configured with the following option. The downside is that this might be used # to circumvent download source policies by malicious users. # The RedirMax option specifies how many such redirects the server is allowed # to follow per request, 0 disables the internal redirection. # Default: guessed on startup, 0 if ForceManaged is used and 5 otherwise. # # RedirMax: 5 # There some broken HTTP servers and proxy servers in the wild which don't # support the If-Range header correctly and return incorrect data when the # contents of a (volatile) file changed. Setting VfileUseRangeOps to zero # disables Range-based requests while retrieving volatile files, using # If-Modified-Since and requesting the complete file instead. Setting it to # a negative value removes even If-Modified-Since headers. # # VfileUseRangeOps: 1 VfileUseRangeOps: 0 # Allow data pass-through mode for certain hosts when requested by the client # using a CONNECT request. This is particularly useful to allow access to SSL # sites (https proxying). The string is a regular expression which should cover # the server name with port and must be correctly formated and terminated. # Examples: # PassThroughPattern: private-ppa\.launchpad\.net:443$ # PassThroughPattern: .* # this would allow CONNECT to everything # # Default: ^(bugs\.debian\.org|changelogs\.ubuntu\.com):443$ # PassThroughPattern: ^(bugs\.debian\.org|changelogs\.ubuntu\.com):443$ #PassThroughPattern: ^codecs\.fedoraproject\.org:443$|mirrors.rpmfusion.org:443 PassThroughPattern: ^codecs\.fedoraproject\.org:443$ # It's possible that an evil client requests a volatile file but does not # retrieve the response and keeps the connection effectively stuck over # many hours, blocking the particular file for other download attempts (which # leads to not reporting file changes on server side to other users). The work # around is the use of alternative file descriptors inside of apt-cacher-ng, # however this might cost some extra download traffic due to worse cache usage. # The ResponseFreezeDetectTime value specifies when a file descriptor in the # mentioned state is to be considered defect and will require special handling. # Default time is 500 seconds. # # ResponseFreezeDetectTime: 500 # Keep outgoing connections alive and reuse them for later downloads from # the same server as long as possible. # # ReuseConnections: 1 # Maximum number of requests sent in a batch to remote servers before the first # response is expected. Using higher values can greatly improve average # throughput depending on network latency and the implementation of remote # servers. Makes most sense when also enabled on the client side, see apt.conf # documentation for details. # # Default: 10 if ReuseConnections is set, 1 otherwise # # PipelineDepth: 10 # Path to the system directory containing trusted CA certificates used for # outgoing connections, see OpenSSL documentation for details. # # CApath: /etc/ssl/certs # # Path to a single trusted trusted CA certificate used for outgoing # connections, see OpenSSL documentation for details. # # CAfile: # There are different ways to detect that an upstream proxy is broken and turn # off its use and connect directly. The first is through a custom command - # when it returns successfully, the proxy is used, otherwise not and the # command will be rerun only after a specified period. # Another way is to try to connect to the proxy first and detect a connection # timeout. The connection will then be made without HTTP proxy for the life # time of the particular download stream and it may also affect other other # parallel downloads. # NOTE: this operation modes are still experimental and are subject to change! # Unwanted side effects may occur with multiple simultaneous user connections # or with specific per-repository proxy settings. # # Shell command, default: not set. Executed with the default shell and # permissions of the apt-cacher-ng's process user. Examples: # /bin/ip route | grep -q 192.168.117 # /usr/sbin/arp | grep -q 00:22:1f:51:8e:c1 # # OptProxyCheckCommand: ... # # Check intervall, in seconds. # # OptProxyCheckInterval: 99 # # Conection timeout in seconds, default: negative, means disabled. # # OptProxyTimeout: -1 # It's possible to limit the processing speed of download agents to set an # overall download speed limit. Unit: KiB/s, Default: unlimited. # # MaxDlSpeed: 500 # In special corner cases, download clients attempt to download random chunks # of a files headers, i.e. the first kilobytes. The "don't get client stuck" # policy converts this usually to a 200 response starting the body from the # beginning but that confuses some clients. When this option is set to a # certain value, this modifies the behaviour and allows to start a file # download where the distance between available data and the specified range # lies within that bounds. This can look like random lag for the user but # should be harmless apart from that. # # MaxInresponsiveDlSize: 64000 # In mobile environments having an adhoc connection with a redirection to some # id verification side, this redirect might damage the cache since the data is # involuntarily stored as package data. There is a mechanism which attempts to # detect a such situation and mitigate the mentioned effects by not storing the # data and also dropping the DNS cache. The trigger is the occurrence of a # specific SUBSTRING in the content type field of the final download target # (i.e. the auth web site) and at least one followed redirection. # # BadRedirDetectMime: text/html # When a BUS signal is received (typically on IO errors), a shell command can be # executed before the daemon is terminated. # Example: # BusAction: ls -l /proc/$PPID/ | mail -s SIGBUS! root # Only set this value for debugging purposes. It disables SSL security checks # like strict host verification. 0 means no, any other value can have # differrent meaning in the future. # # NoSSLChecks: 0 # Setting this value means: on file downloads from/via cache, tag relevant # files. And when acngtool runs the shrink command, it will look at the day # when the file was retrieved from cache last time (and not when it was # originally downloaded). # # TrackFileUse: 0 # Controls preallocation of file system space where this feature is supported. # This might reduce disk fragmentation and therefore improve later read # performance. However, write performance can be reduced which could be # exploited by malicious users. # The value defines a size limit of how much to report to the OS as expected # file size (starting from the beginning of the file). # Set to zero to disable this feature completely. Default: one megabyte # # ReserveSpace: 1048576
