NAME

approx.conf - configuration file for approx proxy server

SYNOPSIS

/etc/approx/approx.conf

DESCRIPTION

Each non-blank line of the configuration file should contain a name/value pair, separated by white space. Comments start with a "#" character and continue to the end of the line.

Names that begin with the "$" character are reserved for use as configuration parameters. The following parameters are currently defined:

$interface

Specifies the name of the network interface on which the approx(8) server listens for HTTP requests (default: any)

$port

Specifies the TCP port on which the approx(8) server listens for HTTP requests (default: 9999)

$interval

Specifies the time in minutes after which a cached file will be considered too old to deliver without first checking with the remote repository for a newer version (default: 720, or 12 hours)

$max_wait

Specifies how many seconds an approx(8) process will wait for a concurrent download of a file to complete, before attempting to download the file itself (default: 10)

$max_rate

Specifies the maximum download rate from remote repositories, in bytes per second (default: unlimited). The value may be suffixed with "K", "M", or "G" to indicate kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes per second, respectively.

$user, $group

Specifies the name of the user and group to use after the daemon drops privileges (default: "approx")

$syslog

Specifies the syslog(3) facility to use when logging (default: "daemon")

$verbose

Specifies whether informational messages should be printed in the log (default: false)

$debug

Specifies whether debugging messages should be printed in the log (default: false)

The other name/value pairs are used to map distribution names to remote repositories. For example,

debian http://ftp.debian.org/debian
security http://security.debian.org
