**Status:** maintained

## Origin

I needed a simple nginx-based proxy that will cache for me arbitrary files.
Searched for existing solutions and didn't find fitting.
So I made my own on top of my [nginx](/project/o9s-nginx/) image.

r8e/http-cache is a part of my experiment about creating uncensorable CI.

It's not very practical, but I like making pipelines and fighting censorship.

## What it does

- Caching proxy that works via url glueing (for the places where you can't put typical proxy)

## What is next

Transparent backends that will make any http-capable tool more capable

- Support for Tor
- Support for BitTorrent
- Support for IPFS
- Support for I2P

## Fit

- if you want your CI to work off-grid
- if you want your CI to work in authoritarian blackouts
