xptsp/squid-privoxy repository overview

⁠squid-privoxy

A docker image with Squid and Privoxy based on Alpine Linux. Now it has Squid as well for caching and modifying requests.

As soon as you have several devices connected to your network and accessing Internet (TV, computers, tablets and smartphones), you're better off running a proxy to access the Internet. One proxy or 2 proxies cascaded?

• A filtering proxy will protect you from unwanted ads
• A filtering proxy will speed up your Internet browser, because you will no longer require to add an blockAds extention in any of the browsers of your devices and computers.
• A cache proxy will speed up your Internet surfing by caching all latest used objects and load only what is necessary.

services:
  squid-privoxy:
    image: xptsp/squid-privoxy:latest
    container_name: squid-privoxy
    ports:
      - 3128:3128     # Squid HTTP proxy server
      - 3129:3129     # Squid Transparent HTTP server
      - 3130:3130     # Squid Transparent HTTPS server
      - 8118:8118     # Privoxy server
      - 8080:8080     # Container WebUI
    #environment:
      # Uncomment next line to add privoxy-blocklist to crond (15min, daily, hourly, weekly, monthly)
      #- UPDATE_BLOCKLIST=weekly
    volumes:
      - ./cache:/var/cache/squid
      #- ./logs:/var/log/squid
      #- ./privoxy:/etc/privoxy
      #- ./squid:/etc/squid
    restart: always

If Squid and Privoxy settings directories are mounted, any missing Squid and/or Privoxy files are copied into their respective directories. Existing configurations will NOT be overridden unless they are older than the default files in this container.

The privoxy-blocklist.conf⁠ file can be found at /etc/privoxy/privoxy-blocklist.conf. When environment variable UPDATE_BLOCKLIST is set, the script is run at container launch, as well as added to the crond tasks at the specified cron period (15min, daily, hourly, weekly, or monthly).
