# Containerized Squid on Container Optimized OS This module manages a `cloud-config` configuration that starts a containerized [Squid](http://www.squid-cache.org/) proxy on Container Optimized OS. The default configuration creates a filtering proxy that only allows connection to a whitelisted set of domains. The resulting `cloud-config` can be customized in a number of ways: - a custom squid.conf configuration can be set using the `squid_config` variable - additional files (e.g. additional acls) can be passed in via the `files` variable - a completely custom `cloud-config` can be passed in via the `cloud_config` variable, and additional template variables can be passed in via `config_variables` The default instance configuration inserts iptables rules to allow traffic on TCP port 3128. With the default `squid.conf`, deny rules take precedence over allow rules. Logging and monitoring are enabled via the [Google Cloud Logging agent](https://cloud.google.com/container-optimized-os/docs/how-to/logging) configured for the instance via the `google-logging-enabled` metadata property, and the [Node Problem Detector](https://cloud.google.com/container-optimized-os/docs/how-to/monitoring) service started by default on boot. The module renders the generated cloud config in the `cloud_config` output, to be used in instances or instance templates via the `user-data` metadata. For convenience during development or for simple use cases, the module can optionally manage a single instance via the `test_instance` variable. If the instance is not needed the `instance*tf` files can be safely removed. Refer to the [top-level README](../README.md) for more details on the included instance. ## Examples ### Default Squid configuration This example will create a `cloud-config` that allows any client in the 10.0.0.0/8 CIDR to use the proxy to connect github.com or any subdomain of github.com. ```hcl module "cos-squid" { source = "./fabric/modules/cloud-config-container/squid" allow = [".github.com"] clients = ["10.0.0.0/8"] } module "vm" { source = "./fabric/modules/compute-vm" project_id = "my-project" zone = "europe-west8-b" name = "cos-squid" network_interfaces = [{ network = "default" subnetwork = "gce" }] metadata = { user-data = module.cos-squid.cloud_config google-logging-enabled = true } boot_disk = { image = "projects/cos-cloud/global/images/family/cos-stable" type = "pd-ssd" size = 10 } tags = ["http-server", "ssh"] } # tftest modules=1 resources=1 ``` ## Variables | name | description | type | required | default | |---|---|:---:|:---:|:---:| | [allow](variables.tf#L18) | List of domains Squid will allow connections to. | list(string) | | [] | | [clients](variables.tf#L24) | List of CIDR ranges from which Squid will allow connections. | list(string) | | [] | | [cloud_config](variables.tf#L30) | Cloud config template path.
