Compatibility with Ubuntu #147
Description
Hi, happy to see an alternative to antique apt-cacher-ng.
To make it work on Ubuntu, would be cool to have:
- Support for native path like "$proxy_host/ubuntu $ubuntu-codename", we past the time when Ubuntu was kinda synced with stable/testing.
- Document (may be in UI), where we can get GPG key, it's not enough to just add sources nowadays.
- Suggest deb822 instead of .list in UI?
P.S. I am going to dive in source code myself and try to make a PR, I really like the project, but I am a noob in Go.

The first part of that is happening in #56, where the 'debian' protocol handler can be used for multiple Debian-style upstreams.

(1) is done:
upstream.debian_repositorieslets you add named APT upstreams served at/debian/{name}/, sodebian_repositories: {ubuntu: "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu"}gives you/debian/ubuntu/. See the Debian section in README and docs/configuration.md.(2) and (3) are docs gaps: the proxy serves signed indexes unchanged, so clients use the upstream distro's archive keyring (
debian-archive-keyring/ubuntu-keyring) and no proxy-specific key is needed, but the README doesn't say that; and the apt example is.listformat rather than deb822. A PR adding a[signed-by=...]note and a.sourcesexample alongside the existing.listone would be welcome.damian-buho commentedon Oct 11, 2026
Thanks!
