[Rafael Akchurin]

Hello everyone,

Online repository with latest Squid 7.6 (rebuilt from sources in Debian) for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS 64-bit is available at https://github.com/diladele/repo-squid-7_6_1-ubuntu-26_04
Github repo https://github.com/diladele/squid-ubuntu contains all scripts we used to make this compilation.

Here are simple instructions how to use the repo (install bash script)

#!/bin/bash

# all packages are installed as root
if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
   echo "This script must be run as root" 1>&2
   exit 1
fi

# get diladele apt key, dearmor it and add to trusted storage
curl https://www.diladele.com/pkg/diladele_pub.asc | gpg --dearmor >/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/diladele_pub.asc.gpg

# add new repo
echo "deb https://diladele.github.io/repo-squid-7_6_1-ubuntu-26_04/repo/ubuntu/ resolute main" \
   >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/squid-7_6_1.diladele.github.io.list

# and install
apt update && apt install -y squid-openssl

# create the override folder for squid
mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/squid.service.d/

# and override the default number of file descriptors
cat >/etc/systemd/system/squid.service.d/override.conf << EOL
[Service]
LimitNOFILE=65535
EOL

# finally reload the systemd
systemctl daemon-reload

This version of Squid will be part of Web Safety 9.8 being released in November of 2026.  If you have some spare time and are interested in Admin UI for Squid and ICAP web filtering, consider downloading a Web Safety appliance for VMware ESXi/vSphere , Microsoft Hyper-V, Proxmox or even deploy it directly on Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS. The free license key for your experiments is available at the site. Downloads are at https://www.diladele.com/websafety/download.html

Hope you will find this useful.

Best regards,
Diladele Dev Team
