+To make use of the apt cache, ensure you have a file like this with CACHE_HOST changes to your actual host
+
+```bash
+echo << EOF >> /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy
+Acquire::HTTP::Proxy "http://<CACHE_HOST>:3142";
+Acquire::HTTPS::Proxy "false";
+EOF
+```
+
+or add these to a Dockerfile
+
+```
+RUN echo 'Acquire::HTTP::Proxy "http://<CACHE_HOST>:3142";' >> /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy \
+ && echo 'Acquire::HTTPS::Proxy "false";' >> /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy
+```
