⁠Squid, verified and packaged by Elestio

Squid⁠ is a caching proxy for the Web supporting HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and more. It reduces bandwidth and improves response times by caching and reusing frequently-requested web pages.

Deploy a fully managed Squid⁠ on elest.io⁠ if you want automated backups, reverse proxy with SSL termination, firewall, automated OS & Software updates, and a team of Linux experts and open source enthusiasts to ensure your services are always safe, and functional.

⁠Usage

⁠Docker-compose

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.

    version: '3'
    services:
    squid:
        image: elestio/squid:${SOFTWARE_VERSION_TAG}
        hostname: squid
        # environment:
        #   - SQUID_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/squid/squid.conf
        ports:
        - "172.17.0.1:28028:3128"
        # volumes:
        #   - './conf/squid.conf:/etc/squid/squid.conf:ro'
        #   - './conf/passwords:/etc/squid/passwords:ro'
        restart: always

⁠Environment variables

⁠Access

You can access the Web UI at: http://your-domain:28028

⁠Maintenance

⁠Logging

The Elestio Squid Docker image sends the container logs to stdout. To view the logs, you can use the following command:

docker-compose logs -f

To stop the stack you can use the following command:

docker-compose down

⁠Backup and Restore with Docker Compose

To make backup and restore operations easier, we are using folder volume mounts. You can simply stop your stack with docker-compose down, then backup all the files and subfolders in the folder near the docker-compose.yml file.

Creating a ZIP Archive For example, if you want to create a ZIP archive, navigate to the folder where you have your docker-compose.yml file and use this command:

zip -r myarchive.zip .

Restoring from ZIP Archive To restore from a ZIP archive, unzip the archive into the original folder using the following command:

unzip myarchive.zip -d /path/to/original/folder

Starting Your Stack Once your backup is complete, you can start your stack again with the following command:

docker-compose up -d

That's it! With these simple steps, you can easily backup and restore your data volumes using Docker Compose.
