Chapter 4: Configuration (Client side)

From the client side, apt-cacher-ng can be used as drop-in replacement for apt-cacher. The same rules apply, e.g. Debian/Ubuntu users should EITHER:

OR:

(assuming that CacheServerIp is 192.168.0.17).

Mixing both configuration methods is not recommended and will lead to obscure APT failures in most cases.

Additionaly, leading path component containing "apt-cacher/" or "apt-cacher?/" might be ignored by the server during the URL processing. This is intended behavior and exists to maintain backwards compatibility to sources.list entries configured for early versions of Apt-Cacher (based on CGI technology).
