APT Proxy for Chassis

Mini extension to set an APT proxy for your Chassis box.

If you have an APT proxy running locally or in your local network, this extension allows you to connect to it to speed up provisioning, as all packages will be loaded from the proxy cache.

Tested and fully working with Apt-Cacher NG

Installation

Either...

Add this extension to your config.local.yaml:

extensions:
  - noplanman/chassis_apt_proxy

or...

Clone this repository into your Chassis extensions directory:

# In your Chassis root directory
$ cd extensions
$ git clone https://github.com/noplanman/chassis_apt_proxy

Configuration

Add a new section to your config.local.yaml:

apt_proxy:
  file: 01proxy                # File name to use when saving to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d (default: 01proxy)
  http: http://127.0.0.1:3142  # HTTP address to your cache proxy (default: false)
  https: false                 # HTTPS address to your cache proxy (default: false)

To remove any previously added proxy, just leave the single http value blank and provision your box. Only then can you remove the config and extension:

apt_proxy:
  http:

Now simply provision your box:

$ vagrant up --provision

TOTAL APT proxy

Since this is a puppet extension for Chassis, it will only be loaded after the initial preprovision script has executed, meaning that the initial APT package installation is unproxied. If you want those to be proxied too, you will have to add some code to puppet/preprovision.sh:

# -snip- #

  # Remove temp files
  rm /tmp/mirrors-sources.list /tmp/apt-sources.list
fi

# Add APT proxy
echo 'Acquire::http::Proxy "http://your-proxy:3142";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy
echo 'Acquire::https::Proxy "false";' >> /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy

# Update apt
sudo apt-get update
