For others reading this now or later... making the salt in the above
link work is more then I could handle* (there were some dependencies on
other salt scripts I didn't have). However, unman also has a super
helpful step-by-step instruction:

https://github.com/unman/notes/blob/master/apt-cacher-ng

This worked as described with the following restrictions:

-> debian templates did not work unchanged due to the https:// URIs but
once I changed those to http://HTTPS/// it worked just fine

-> ubuntu did work out of the box as the URIs are http://

        -> some 3rd party repos needed the http://HTTPS/// change (e.g.
           Signal)

-> I couldn't get it to work with the one Fedora qube I have
(qubes-builder) and wasn't in the mood to tinker. Since it's the only
Fedora instance (besides dom0 which is an entirely different version)
having a cache would bring me no benefit.

I don't quite understand why repos would be hosted on https:// URI in
the first place. The contents is hardly confidential, the authenticity
is checked via signatures ... why the overhead? Might be off-topic for
this list though.

*salt along with Python is something I know I have to learn, but right
now just don't have the mental bandwidth for
