clue/apt-cacher repository overview

⁠docker-apt-cacher

Downloading the same software packages for Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions for several machines in your network over and over again is slow and annoying. Using apt-cacher⁠ you can set up a central machine that caches the package files after the first download. This is a minimal docker image that eases setting up and maintaining your apt-cacher proxy server.
