Summary
Including an Apt proxy cache in the main repository and documenting its installation and configuration would reduce time and bandwidth usage when deploying, updating or installing packages for Ubuntu machines on the same network.
Release Note
Ubuntu Server ships an apt proxy cache, altough not active by default. It allows to reduce bandwidth and time when installing or updating Ubuntu machines on a network.
Rationale
Downloading the same packages and updates over the Internet for every Ubuntu machine on a network is a waste of bandwidth and time. Choosing an available apt proxy cache from universe, including it in main and documenting its installation and configuration on Ubuntu Server would solve this issue.
Use Cases
- Alan admins a network of several Ubuntu machines and wants the packages and updates to be downloaded only once and fetched by all the machines.
- Betty deploys a lot of Ubuntu machines daily and she wants the unattended installations to fetch the packages and updates directly from an Ubuntu Server on her network.
- Chuck has several Ubuntu machines at home and doesn't want to use his limited bandwidth to download the packages updates for each one of his machines.
Design
Goals
- Choose an apt proxy cache from universe and include it in main.
- Include how to configure it in the Ubuntu Server Guide.
