NAME
apt-cacher-ng - caching proxy for software package downloads
SYNOPSIS
apt-cacher-ng [-c confdir] [-h] [optname=optvalue ...]
DESCRIPTION
Apt-Cacher NG is a caching proxy for software packages which are downloaded by Unix/Linux system
distribution mechanisms from mirror servers accessible via HTTP.
OPTIONS
The command-line options supported by apt-cacher-ng are:
-c confdir
Scan the specified configuration directory and interpret configuration files find there.
-h Short option summary
varname=varopt
The options from the configuration can be passed on the command line as key=value pairs.
CONFIGURATION
Apt-Cacher NG is configured by a multi-config directory, i.e. the configuration is split into many
configuration files having names with suffix .conf and stored in a single directory. Variables can
override previously configured settings from other files, sometimes that settings are merged (depending
on the variable).
The configuration directory is typically /etc/apt-cacher-ng but it can be adjusted with the -C option
(see systemd service file for details or wherever the init system starts the daemon).
On Debian systems, there are at least three files installed by default: acng.conf (containing documented
examples), security.conf (containing sensible data and only readable for special users) and
zz_debconf.conf (containing popular settings which are set by the Debian Configuration mechanism).
SIGNALS
Only few signals are handled in non-default ways.
SIGUSR1 closes and reopens log files.
SIGTERM and SIGINT close log files and stop the daemon.
