Is anyone aware of a more recent alternative to `apt-cacher-ng`? I would like to run an apt cache on a small local server. What bugs me about `apt-cacher-ng` is that:
* It does not support HTTPS (alright, could work around that with reverse proxying)
* It stores the backend admin password in plain text
(Snooping around in the docs, I realised that all documentation about #caching and #mirroring #apt #repos is fairly outdated. E.g. both #Debian and #Ubuntu docs warn that creating a mirror requires "massive" amounts of storage space, then quantifying that to be around 60 to 80 GB (hihihi).)
An alternative that is mentioned is to use a general purpose caching proxy like squid... I may resort to that.
