[Rafael Akchurin]

Good morning everyone,

Online repository with latest Squid 7.4 (rebuilt from sources in Debian) for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS 64-bit is available at https://github.com/diladele/repo-squid-7_4_1-ubuntu-24_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.

# get diladele apt key, dearmor it and add to trusted storage
curl https://packages.diladele.com/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_4_1-ubuntu-24_04/repo/ubuntu/ noble main" \
   >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/squid-7_4_1.diladele.github.io.list

# and install
apt update && apt install -y \
   squid-common \
   squid-openssl \
   libecap3 libecap3-dev

# 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

# switch to openssl based squid
update-alternatives --set squid /usr/sbin/squid-openssl

# finally reload the systemd
systemctl daemon-reload

This version of Squid will be part of Web Safety 9.8 being released in spring/summer 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<https://diladele.com/websafety/download.html> 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<https://www.diladele.com/websafety/licensing.html>.

Hope you will find this useful.

Best regards,
Diladele Dev Team
