About

This is a Docker recipe for an image which is meant to build squid server from source code on Debian 8 systems.

Dockerfile might serve as a documentation for people who want to build squid from sources. It might be developers who want to patch squid, or someone else who needs to enable/dissable some build options, needs the latest squid version that is not packaged on their system yet, etc.

Usage

Create docker image that will download squid source code and compile it:

$ docker build -t squid-builds .

Get into container:

$ docker run -it squid-builds bash

The built files should be in /opt/squid-x.y.z/build:

$ tree /opt/squid-x.y.z/build

/opt/squid-3.5.24/build/
