I'm using it in a mixed environment of Debian/Raspbian and oS machines (real and virtual) and it a) means that the machines in question don't need direct internet access - only the VM running apt-cagher-ng does; and b) it saves a heap on internet bandwidth and dramatically speeds up updates for all but the first machine requesting a particular set of updates.
Very simple to setup, too. Debian (and Debian-derivative) clients using apt are extremely easy to setup - zypper needs a little more work, with manual editing of the repo URL's for each repo that needs caching, but that only needs to be done once, when a repo is added (or it is deployed for the first time).
Hopefully someone might find this useful.
What about the server? That one will need to run Debian, no?
No - at home I'm running it on Tumbleweed. If it's not in the main repo, someone has built it in an OBS repo. Can't remember exactly - I'd have to check Yast2. A package search will find it. -- ============================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au CCNA #CSCO12880208 ==============================================================
