# Since for most Docker users, package installs happen in "docker build" steps, # they essentially become individual layers due to the way Docker handles # layering, especially using CoW filesystems. What this means for us is that # the caches that APT keeps end up just wasting space in those layers, making # our layers unnecessarily large (especially since we'll normally never use # these caches again and will instead just "docker build" again and make a brand # new image). # Ideally, these would just be invoking "apt-get clean", but in our testing, # that ended up being cyclic and we got stuck on APT's lock, so we get this fun # creation that's essentially just "apt-get clean".

Use this original configuration file when you need to restore APT to its default state after misconfiguration, during fresh installations, or as a baseline for customization. It's particularly useful for troubleshooting when your current config isn't working properly.
Download this file and replace your current configuration at /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/docker-clean
. Make sure to backup your existing configuration first, then restart the APT service to apply the changes.
This is the factory-default configuration that ships with APT on Debian 9 (Stretch). While it provides a secure baseline, you should review and customize security settings based on your specific production requirements and compliance needs.
This configuration is specifically from Debian 9 (Stretch). Different operating systems and versions may have slightly different default settings, security patches, or feature availability. Check the compatibility section above for other OS versions.
Yes, this original configuration is excellent for troubleshooting. Compare it with your current settings to identify modifications that might be causing issues, or temporarily replace your config with this one to isolate problems.
