Apt-cacher-ng in debian-12-minimal does't work with onion repos

apparatus · November 2, 2023, 8:29pm

Temporary fix for new apt-cacher-ng versions using privoxy while the issue with RFC is being discussed:

Install and configure apt-cacher-ng in the same way as before, e.g. following this guide:

unman/notes/blob/master/apt-cacher-ng.md

# Using apt-cacher-ng as a caching proxy in Qubes.

## Why?
The standard tinyproxy is just a proxy. This ,means that as soon as you start to use more than a few templates you are wasting bandwidth (and time) in repeatedly downloading the same packages.  
Using a caching proxy saves on both.

## How?
apt-cacher-ng is a caching proxy with support for Debian based distros out of the box, as well as Arch.
It can be configured to support Fedora, Suse, Gentoo, and \*BSD

###  INSTALL 
Create a new Debian based template -  
`qvm-clone debian-11-minimal template-cacher`

In template-cacher install the software, by running as root:  
```
apt-get install qubes-core-agent-networking apt-cacher-ng 
systemctl mask apt-cacher-ng 
```
Shut down template-cacher.

Install privoxy in template-cacher:

apt-get install privoxy
systemctl mask privoxy

Shut down template-cacher.
Start cacher qube and configure privoxy there:

echo "binds+=( '/etc/privoxy/config' )" >> /rw/config/qubes-bind-dirs.d/50_user.conf
echo 'systemctl unmask privoxy' >> /rw/config/rc.local
echo 'systemctl start privoxy' >> /rw/config/rc.local
echo 'Proxy: http://127.0.0.1:8118' >> /etc/apt-cacher-ng/acng.conf

Restart cacher.
Change privoxy config:

echo 'forward-socks5t / 10.152.152.10:9153 .' >> /etc/privoxy/config
systemctl restart privoxy
