skindud / squid-rpm-cache Goto Github PK

my configuration for squid based caching server to prevent downloading RPM packages over and over again while playing around with virtual machines.

using only the filename instead of the complete URL i can use alternate mirrors and still hit the cache, even if the RPM came originally from a different mirror.

Build:

cd store_id_program && go build

there is a alternative store_id_program(store_id_program.py) provided by user didib, that takes the linux distribution into acount.

i use the default configuration with the exception of refresh_patterns, which i replaced with my own:

#                 3 month    12 month
refresh_pattern . 129600 33% 525600

plus the additional configuration:

cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid 10000 16 256

store_id_program /path/to/store_id_program
store_id_children 5 startup=1

# have not seen a larger RPM yet
maximum_object_size 1 GB

# cache RPMs only
