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.
You can deploy it easily with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/elestio-examples/squid.git
Copy the .env file from tests folder to the project directory
cp ./tests/.env ./.env
Edit the .env file with your own values.
Create data folders with correct permissions
mkdir -p ./pgdata
chown -R 1000:1000 ./pgdata
Run the project with the following command
docker-compose up -d
./scripts/postInstall.sh
You can access the Web UI at: http://your-domain:28028
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.

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
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.
docker pull elestio/squid
