Intro
Due to
popular request, I've decided to quickly document how we at
UNT Web support use
squid as a proxy caching server for
drush. The main goal was to speed up module updates, and reduce the load on drupal.org and UNT's internet connection. The instructions are based on my memory, and are for
Debian, so there may be gaps here and there depending on your experience/OS.
Squid Setup
Installation was super-simple. (gotta love apt)
Configuration was also quite simple. Basically, the debian package for squid is setup fairly nicely as a proxy caching server out of the box, and you need only configure access.
