squid-docker-simple-auth

A simple (and fragile) Dockerfile for launching an authenticated squid proxy.

The user must specify authentication credentials via the following environment variables:

SQUID_USERNAME=foo
SQUID_PASSWORD=bar

An example invocation would be:

docker run -e SQUID_USERNAME=foo -e SQUID_PASSWORD=bar -p 3128:3128 robhaswell/squid-authenticated

Details

Environment variables

• SQUID_USERNAME
• SQUID_PASSWORD

Ports

• 3128

Volumes

• /var/log/squid3

Ideas for Improvement

• Output logs to stdout.
• The range of authentication options could be expanded through more configuration options.
• Supply a full configuration file that has been well considered instead of hacking up Ubuntu's defaults.
