[Script request] LanCache - Windows & Games caching server

Description

LanCache is a cache service for Windows Updates as well as multiple gaming platforms. It aims at reducing WAN transfer by caching the data locally and serving it by intercepting DNS requests for different http services (such as Windows update, Steam, etc) and serving the requested files locally.

Although it offers performance advantages for small deployments (2+ computers), it really shines on larger networks or specific events.

By default, the devs provide a docker-compose solution but an LXC machine would be much better for people running proxmox.

Due Diligence

• I have searched existing scripts and found no duplicates.
• I have searched existing discussions and found no duplicate requests.
• This is not a game-related request.

Already using a homegrown install. would love to be able to quickly deploy this!

Sorry I have to ask, I don't see any real files in the script/project. The Org in Github consists of 20 repos, there is absolutely nothing to it, except a Docker installation. But since we only want bare metal, I don't know how any of us could implement this. I'm not a gamer, but I can't find anything for it either.

Under Docker, anyone can deploy it themselves and will probably have more peace of mind.

That is honestly a very fair point.

Perhaps what we are looking for is the convenience that the script provides?

I might be missing the point so excuse my ignorance if that's the case. The reason why I asked for a script is to install lancache in a LXC container rather than a docker container.

I thought that what was inside the docker (what should be "bare metal I guess") could be migrated to LXC container. I'd personally like to have all my containers in LXC rather than docker, unless proxmox integrates docker.

Maybe a broader request could be to ask for a conversion helper script:

• Input docker-compose.yml
• Ask a few questions
• output proxmox lxc

Does that make any sense?
