[09:48] *** hive-mind has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 265 seconds) [09:56] *** hive-mind has joined #arpnetworks [11:06] mercutio: would squid be the best option for the http proxy? [11:07] I've used apt-cacher-ng in the past. It's targeted with Apt (Debian, Ubuntu, etc) obviously, but also supports/caches Yum/rpms [11:08] mnathani: squid is an easy option [11:08] (In my environments, I was supporting both) [11:08] i use trafficserver myself, but trafficserver uses raw partitions, whereas squid can just use disk space as it requires. [11:09] does apt-cacher-ng run as server code on an another box, or is it client software? [11:09] i transparently proxy anyone who uses dhcp :/ [11:09] (acng for that matter also just uses the filesystem like normal) [11:09] mnathani: It's a proxy server [11:09] apt-cacher-ng may work fine, never tried it. [11:09] just set the CentOS boxes to use ip.address:3142 as a proxy [11:10] Never tried transparent proxying with it though. [11:10] i set explicit proxies in places too. [11:10] well it's useful if you download some archive in one place then want it in anothe rplace [11:10] you can just download it again and it'll go uber fast, rather than having to scp it [11:10] does transparent proxying dhcp users require a specific dhcp option to be used? [11:11] nope [11:11] It wouldn't be transparent if the client had to be configured to do it [11:11] (but does require a specific network setup) [11:11] it just means you transparently proxy whatever range of ip's you're giving out over dhcp [11:12] what 'server' or 'router' takes care of the transparent proxy or deciding what IPs to proxy [11:12] The router/gateway would [11:12] i have a linux box that does that, and runs the dhcp server and acts as gateway for nat [11:12] it's used as a desktop too though [11:13] does it have 2 physical NICs? [11:13] Most likely by a pf or iptables rule that redirects all connections from a given range of IP's to a port on the proxy, whether that be the same system or a separate server. [11:13] if you're running dhcp then you can just run dhcp server on linux box easily. [11:13] I use apt-cacher-ng, but only for Debian apt repos, I've never tried it with yum clients [11:13] mnathani: nah only one [11:13] well it's got infiniband and ethernet [11:13] so yeah it goes in and out the same interface. [11:14] separate Vlans? [11:14] nope [11:17] infiniband for storage? [11:18] well ip over infiniband, and i use it from my windows box. [11:18] for remote files, and for proxy :/ [11:18] i have proxy on ssd hah [11:18] it still doesn't seem to really go faster than 30 megabytes/sec often [11:19] lots of small files don't relaly get speed up that quickly. [11:20] but even over wireless it tends to go more than 10mb/sec [11:23] i think it's cos there's a mix of cached/uncached.. [11:26] i'm updating ubuntu on my chromebook atm. it's bloody slow at installing updates. [11:36] *** medum has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [11:38] *** medum has joined #arpnetworks [13:35] mercutio: will the proxy work even if different machines request files from different mirrors? [13:36] to cache the content I mean [13:44] acng handles that transparently. Traditional proxying will not. [13:44] That's what she said!! [13:44] BryceBot: no [13:44] Oh, okay... I'm sorry. 'acng handles that transparently. Traditional proxying will not.' [13:49] mnathani_: nope [13:49] mnathani_: not unless you have a rewrite rule [13:49] i set everything to the same mirrors [13:50] That's a bear to do with CentOS since it defaults to using mirrorlists. Either I edit every repo file on each machine, or I set the proxy= [13:50] (And I went with proxy, obviously) [13:51] brycec: does that thing you use do rewrite? [13:51] 13:43:55 brycec | acng handles that transparently. Traditional proxying will not. [13:51] ahh [13:51] It has a text list of mirrors, and all requests matching that list go into a general "centos" folder (or "debian", etc) [13:52] (and yeah, that's part of the default config too) [13:52] how does it handle missing files on mirrors etc? [13:52] that being much less of an issue now days than it used to be [13:52] No idea [13:53] with debian i used to repeat entries for when that happens [13:53] That's what she said!! [13:53] i haven't been doing so recently though [13:54] from what I can tell, the client would have to retry from a different mirror. The only thing "rewritten" is where the cached data gets stored and pulled from, it doesn't affect the url fetched (mirror used) [14:10] oh [15:30] *** relrod has quit IRC (Quit: ZNC - http://znc.in) [15:31] *** relrod_ has joined #arpnetworks [15:32] *** relrod_ is now known as relrod [19:44] *** _Zodiac has joined #arpnetworks [19:44] *** _Zodiac has left [21:41] *** carvite has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [22:48] https://twitter.com/hashtag/facebookdown [22:51] *** carvite has joined #arpnetworks [22:57] *** carvite has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) [23:04] *** carvite has joined #arpnetworks [23:14] *** dj_goku has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [23:20] *** dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks [23:20] *** dj_goku has quit IRC (Changing host) [23:20] *** dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks
