This is the best container to use for all game caching and should be used for Steam in preference to the lancachenet/steamcache and lancachenet/generic containers.
## Usage
You need to be able to redirect HTTP traffic to this container. The easiest way to do this is to replace the DNS entries for the various game services with your cache server.
You can use the [steamcache-dns](https://hub.docker.com/r/steamcache/steamcache-dns/) docker image to do this or you can use a DNS service already on your network see the [steamcache-dns github page](https://github.com/steamcache/steamcache-dns) for more information.
You can use the [lancache-dns](https://hub.docker.com/r/lancachenet/lancache-dns/) docker image to do this or you can use a DNS service already on your network see the [lancache-dns github page](https://github.com/lancachenet/lancache-dns) for more information.
For the cache files to persist you will need to mount a directory on the host machine into the container. You can do this using `-v <path on host>:/data/cache`. You can do the same with a logs directory as well if you want logs to be persistent as well.
Run the container using the following to allow TCP port 80 (HTTP) and to mount `/cache/steam/data` directory into the container.

## Simple Full Stack startup
To initialise a full caching setup with dns and sni proxy you can use the following script as a starting point:
```
export HOST_IP=`hostname -I | cut -d' ' -f1`
docker run --restart unless-stopped --name steamcache-dns --detach -p 53:53/udp -e USE_GENERIC_CACHE=true -e LANCACHE_IP=$HOST_IP steamcache/steamcache-dns:latest
docker run --restart unless-stopped --name lancache --detach -v /cache/data:/data/cache -v /cache/logs:/data/logs -p 80:80 steamcache/monolithic:latest
docker run --restart unless-stopped --name sniproxy --detach -p 443:443 steamcache/sniproxy:latest
echo Please configure your dhcp server to serve dns as $HOST_IP

docker run --restart unless-stopped --name lancache --detach -v /cache/data:/data/cache -v /cache/logs:/data/logs -p 80:80 lancachenet/monolithic:latest
docker run --restart unless-stopped --name sniproxy --detach -p 443:443 lancachenet/sniproxy:latest
echo Please configure your router/dhcp server to serve dns as $HOST_IP
```
Please check that `hostname -I` returns the correct IP before running this snippet

2) You do not need multiple containers, a single monolithic container will cache ALL cdns without collision
3) steamcache/monolithic should be compatible with your existing container's env vars so you can use the same run command you currently use, just change to steamcache/monolithic

## Tuning your cache
Steam in particular has some inherrent limitations caused by the adherence to the HTTP spec connection pool. As such steam download speed are highly dependent on the latency between your server and the steam cdn servers. In the event you find your initial download speed with the default settings is slow this can be resolved by allocating more IP's to your ache. We suggest adding one IP at a time to see how much gain can be had (4 seems to work for a number of people)

We suggest adding one IP at a time to see how much gain can be had (4 seems to work for a number of people).
### Step 1: Adding IP's to your docker host
Consult your OS documentation in order to add additional IP addresses onto your docker cache host machine
### Step 2: Adding IP's to your cache container
In order for this to work you need to add the port maps onto the relevant cdn container (for example steam).
* If you are using `steamcache/monolithic` then using `-p 80:80` should be sufficient as per the documentation.
* If you are using `steamcache/generic` or `steamcache/steamcache` then add multiple `-p <IPadddress>:80:80` for each IP you have added. For example `-p 10.10.1.30:80:80 -p 10.10.1.31:80:80`
### Step 3: Informing steamcache-dns of the extra IP's
Finally we need to inform steamcache-dns that STEAM is now available on multiple IP addresses. This can be done on the command line using the following command `-e STEAMCACHE_IP="10.10.1.30 10.10.1.31"`. Note the quotes surrounding the multiple IP addresses.

### Step 4: Testing
Choose a game which has not been seen by the cache before (or clear your `/data/cache` folder) and start it downloading. Check to see what the maximum speed seen by your steam client is. If necessary repeat steps 1-3 with additional IPs until you see a download equivalent to your uncached steam client or no longer see an improvement vs the previous IP allocation.

If you have any questions, please check [our FAQs](faq.md). If this doesn't answer your question, please raise an issue in GitHub.
## How to help out
To build just run `docker build --tag lancachenet/monolithic:testing .`. To test you can run `./run_tests.sh`
If you want to test a new build with a forked uklans repo/branch you can specify `-e CACHE_DOMAIN_REPO=""` and even `-e NOFETCH=true` if using a locally bind mounted git repo.

No. HTTPS traffic is encrypted. Some of the games, Origin for instance, also serve HTTPS content on the same hostnames we're intercepting - for this you can use SNI Proxy. It listens on port 443 and just passes through any HTTPS traffic. It is unable to inspect the traffic, or cache it.

## Can I cache Fortnite/Epic Games Launcher?
Sadly no, it uses HTTPS and can't be cached.
Yes, as of [2019-05-30](https://github.com/uklans/cache-domains/pull/89) - Epic Games have kindly moved their CDN servers and launcher to use HTTP for content delivery.
## Can I cache *some other service*

## How do you intercept the HTTP traffic?
We prefer to use DNS-based interception This is because it is easier to deploy than other methods. We have a [steamcache-dns](https://github.com/steamcache/steamcache-dns) project that is a self-contained DNS server with options for setting your cache IP addresses.

If you already run a DNS server and are comfortable configuring new override DNS zones, you can also just do this from the list on [uklans/cache-domains](https://github.com/uklans/cache-domains). pfSense's DNS forwarder can easily be configured, and the project has scripts to generate config for unbound.
