# 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:3142

# 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
BindAddress: 0.0.0.0

# 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

#
ExThreshold: 14

# If the expiration is run daily, it sometimes does not make much sense to do
# it because the expected changes (i.e. removal of expired files) don't justify
# the extra processing time or additional downloads for expiration operation
# itself. This discrepancy might be especially worse if the local client
# installations are small or are rarely updated but the daily changes of
# the remote archive metadata are heavy.
#
# The following option enables a possible trade-off: the expiration run is
# suppressed until a certain amount of data has been downloaded through
# apt-cacher-ng since the last expiration execution (which might indicate that
# packages were replaced with newer versions).
#
# The number can have a suffix (k,K,m,M for Kb,KiB,Mb,MiB)

# Pigeonholing files (like static vs. volatile contents) is done by (extended)

#
# The following patterns are available for the purposes detailed, where
# the latter takes precedence over the former:
# - «PFilePattern» for static data that doesn't change silently on the server.
# - «VFilePattern» for volatile data that may change like every hour. Files
#   that match both PFilePattern and VfilePattern will be treated as volatile.
# - Static data with file names that match VFilePattern may be overriden being
#   treated as volatile by making it match the special static data pattern,
#   «SPfilePattern».
# - «SVfilePattern» or the "special volatile data" pattern is for the
#   convenience of specifying any exceptions to matches with SPfilePattern,
#   for cases where data must still be treated as volatile.
# - «WfilePattern» specifies a "whitelist pattern" for the regular expiration
#   job, telling it to keep the files even if they are not referenced by
#   others, like crypto signatures with which clients begin their downloads.
#
# There are two versions. The pattern variables mentioned above should not be
# set without good reason, because they would override the built-in defaults
# (that might impact updates to future versions of apt-cacher-ng). There are
# also versions of those patterns ending with Ex, which may be modified by the
# local administrator. They are evaluated in addition to the regular patterns
# at runtime.

# 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: 1

# 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

# 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

# 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.

# 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.

# 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: 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

# 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

# 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:
# PassThroughPattern: ^bugs.debian.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

# documentation for details.

# 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

# 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 IO issues), a shell command can be

# Only set this value for debugging purposes. It disables SSL security checks
# like strict host verification. 0 means no, any other value can have

#
# NoSSLChecks: 0

# Setting this value means: on file downloads from/via cache, tag relevant
