[ubuntu][socks5][proxy] Set proxy for apt

Raw

set-apt-proxy.md

Writing an apt proxy conf file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy.conf as below.

Acquire::http::Proxy "socks5h://127.0.0.1:1080";
Acquire::https::Proxy "socks5h://127.0.0.1:1080";
Acquire::socks::Proxy "socks5h://127.0.0.1:1080";

And the proxy settings will be applied the next time we run apt.
