Squid not caching
Good afternoon folks,
I have an issue with squid. I'm currently forwarding all requests to a proxy service which our company pays for. We use the service to do web scraping. The issue is that it's taking 100 GB of data bandwidth everyday and I want to cache the webpages content so that I can lower the data bandwidth consumption. Right now, I'm using squid as a middleman: It authenticates to the other proxy service we pay for since we can't authenticate directly in chrome arguments with --proxy-server. Squid runs in a docker container and I'm using docker-compose, here is the docker-compose file and the squid.conf:
docker-compose.yml
squid:
image: sameersbn/squid:3.5.27
container_name: squid
ports:
- "3128:3128"
volumes:
- ~/work/docker/squid/cache:/var/spool/squid
- ~/work/docker/squid/squid.conf:/etc/squid/squid.conf
restart: always
squid.conf
http_port 3128
cache_peer proxy.server.example parent 31280 0 no-digest login=admin:admin
acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
http_access allow all
never_direct allow all
When I look inside the /var/spool/squid directory inside the docker container, it's always empty.
Do you have any ideas what prevents squid from caching the webpages?
