apt-cacher

[frantek]

Hi,

I usually use apt-cacher. The enterprise repository does not work with apt-cacher. Is there a solution and if not, will there ever be a solution?

TIA

yes, apt-cacher does not work with the enterprise repo (by design).

In Tom's language, guess that "yes" is a "no".

@frantek If you think of the "enterprise" meaning and associated subscriptions, it's no surprise, i guess.

I am disappointed that apt-cacher does not work with enterprise repo but I also understand that there is no way to cache the files while still restricting downloads to valid subscribers.

It sucks having to download the same files 20 times, maybe in the future as Proxmox grows there will be a solution to this.

even designs can have vital bugs ... q.e.d.

I'm no expert, but isn't possibile to configure (eg) a squid proxy to cache such requests, in any way?
btw, that would interest me but not for pve, for usual lan downloads, windows updates, etc.

Hint: We use standard HTTPS with AuthPlain (nothing special).

And you can configure a proxy using the GUI.

if you run a datacenter with 20 hosts, the quite small traffic of the Proxmox VE enterprise traffic will probably NOT break your download limit.

but if its a problem, use a caching proxy which is able to handle this. apt-cacher is the wrong tool here.
