Using Deb Proxy to cache Debs to minimize time starting-up machines and its installation scripts

[N. S.]

Hi,

I am running juju latest version on local LXD.

When deploying services,

FOR each new machine, the "cloud init log" of the LXC in question captures some "apt-get install <some debs>"
before starting up the machine and then i see that it's up to the "install" hook to install additional software and configure them.

In my situation,
I have some repetitive machines.


I am thinking of using SQUID DEB PROXY or SIMILAR to cache the Debs for faster deploy of subsequent machines.

My questions are:

I.
Where should I install and configure SQUID DEB PROXY or a similar PROXY?
Is it on
1.
The host machine running the LXD including the controller juju-abcd-0?
Or
2.
The controller machine juju-abcd-0 itself?

So that I increase the "hit" rate of the needed-to-be-downloaded Debs and decease the readiness time?

II. What proxy do you recommend?


Thanks
Br
Naz
