# LAN Cache in a docker container
Simply expose this container on port 80, and point a bunch of domains to this server's IP address,
and you get a fully operational LAN cache. Hooray!
## Game Download Service URL Reference List
For a list of DNS addresses to override on your DNS server, refer to [uklans/cache-domains](https://github.com/uklans/cache-domains/),
or the individual nginx configuration files in this repo.
## Quickstart
To build and run, do:
```
./buildcontainer.sh
./start.sh
```
`start.sh` will make a /data/ directory to store logs and cache data in.
## SSL HTTPS Dependency
*Warning*: some services (eg, when downloading the Origin client) require HTTPS access to the
hosts that we are hijacking. To avoid connectivity issues, you will need to run an
[SNI proxy](https://github.com/dlundquist/sniproxy) to enable pass through of HTTPS traffic.
You can build and run the sniproxy container in the `sniproxy` directory to achieve this.
```
cd sniproxy
docker build -t sniproxy .
docker run --name sniproxy -p 443:443 sniproxy
```
## Installation Walkthrough
### Start with a clean install of Linux
### Ensure `/data` is on a volume (or symlink) with plenty of disk space.
Example:
- consider you have a mega-partition mounted to /mnt/storage
- create a symlink for /data
```
$ sudo ln -s /mnt/storage/lancache/ /data
$ df -h /data
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 1.7T 69M 1.6T 1% /mnt/storage
```
### Install Docker if not already installed
- curl sudo bash is terrible, but you're trusting my code anyway :)
```
$ curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | sudo bash
```
### Get this repository
```
$ git clone https://github.com/OpenSourceLAN/origin-docker.git
$ cd origin-docker
```
### Set your max cache size
`$ vi nginx.conf`
Edit nginx.conf:
- Find the proxy_cache_path line and udpate the max_size parameter to the maximum
amount of disk space you would like your cache to use
### Build the containers
`# ./buildcontainer.sh`
### Start the cache container
Notes:
- using `--restart=always`, will auto-start after reboot
- security, running your Docker services as root or non root
see https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/security/#docker-daemon-attack-surface
`# ./start.sh`
### Start the SNI proxy container (optional, but recommended)
`# docker run --name sniproxy -p 443:443 sniproxy`
### Start the DNS server if you need it
`# cd dnsmasq && ./start.sh`
