Today I'm setting up a simple nginx proxy, so I can store updates used by my many Linux systems. Most of them run a derivative of Debian, so this guide focuses mostly on caching apt repositories (Debian, Ubuntu, Proxmox, and more), but the same approach should work with any distro. The example configs include the repositories which I use myself.
