dnf via squid caching proxy - does it work for you?

[lejeczek]

hi there people,

I wonder do you squid proxy and dnf via it?
I cannot get it to work, even with baseurl insteadof 
metalinks, it's sosloww! and 99% of the time fails to get to 
repositories.

thanks, L.

If your goal is simply to avoid having all your local hosts re-downloading  
the same set of updates, it's pretty simple to have daily rsync of the  
updates repo, and point all your hosts to it.

I thought, still think, the easiest would be to use squid 
which is already caching other things for my local net.
I thought metalink/mirrorlist might be difficult for squid, 
might defeat the squid, so I tried baseurl instead but it 
still does not work and I wonder - is it dnf programming or 
Fedora repo/infrustructre as a whole which is constructed is 
such a way that a caching proxy cannot be used.

Hello person,

You haven't said what you've actually done.  Show your config file.

I haven't done that kind of thing in a long time, so I'm not up to
speed with what's required.  But this is the first thing Google threw
up:
