auto-apt-proxy

automatic detector of common APT proxy settings

Description

auto-apt-proxy installs itself as an APT proxy autodetector, and detects common setups by checking some hosts on the local network for well-known APT proxies such as apt-cacher-ng.

This package is most useful for development environments, and will Do The Right Thing for at least these cases:

  * Build chroots, with a proxy running on the host system.
  * Docker/lxc containers, with a proxy running on the host system.
  * Virtual machines with NAT networking, with a proxy running on the host
    system.
  * Any other system, with a proxy running on its default gateway.
  * Systems where the `apt-proxy` hostname resolves to a valid IP address
    and a supported proxy is detected at that address.

The following APT proxy servers are supported and automatically detected:
  * apt-cacher-ng
  * approx
  * apt-cacher
  * squid-deb-proxy
  * any proxy advertised by an _apt_proxy._tcp SRV record in your domain
  * any proxy advertised by an _apt_proxy._tcp SRV record in mDNS, if avahi
    is installed and configured

This package has a minimal set of dependencies in order to minimize the influence on systems where it is installed.
