http-cache

a Docker image to use Nginx as an HTTP(S) proxy to cache static assets.

caveat emptor: can only do insecure HTTPS proxying

helpful when you need to repeatedly install packages from apt-get, npm, cargo, etc.

inspiration from:

• pmendelski/nginx-cache
• reiz/nginx-proxy
• chobits/ngx_http_proxy_connect_module#28

usage

first, download the Docker image:

docker pull ahdinosaur/http-cache

then run it as:

docker run -it --rm \
  -p 3142:3142 \
  -v "$(pwd)/cacher/log:/var/log/nginx" \
  -v "$(pwd)/cacher/data:/var/cache/nginx" \
  ahdinosaur/http-cache

notice you will need the volumes mounted to:

• /var/log/nginx: the nginx logs (cache_access.log)
• /var/cache/nginx: the nginx cache data

to test it works:

curl -I --proxy 'http://localhost:3142' 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.3.1/react.min.js'
