This is known to cause issues with some setups that use a caching proxy for -package downloads. - -If you are using such a setup, there are a couple of ways to work around this: - -- Configure your proxy to automatically pass through HTTPS connections without caching them. This is the simplest - solution, but means that downloads of Netdata packages will not be cached. -- Mirror the repository locally on your proxy system, and use that mirror when installing on other systems. This - requires more setup and more disk space on the caching host, but it lets you cache the packages locally. -- Some specific caching proxies may have alternative configuration options to deal with these issues. Find - such options in their documentation. - -## What's next? - -When you're finished with installation, check out our [single-node](/docs/quickstart/single-node.md) or -[infrastructure](/docs/quickstart/infrastructure.md) monitoring quickstart guides based on your use case. - -Or, skip straight to [configuring the Netdata Agent](/docs/configure/nodes.md). - -Read through Netdata's [documentation](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs), which is structured based on actions and -solutions, to enable features like health monitoring, alarm notifications, long-term metrics storage, exporting to -external databases, and more. - -[![analytics](https://www.google-analytics.com/collect?v=1&aip=1&t=pageview&_s=1&ds=github&dr=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fnetdata%2Fnetdata&dl=https%3A%2F%2Fmy-netdata.io%2Fgithub%2Fpackages%2Finstaller%2Fmethods%2Fpackages&_u=MAC~&cid=5792dfd7-8dc4-476b-af31-da2fdb9f93d2&tid=UA-64295674-3)]() diff --git a/packaging/installer/methods/source.md b/packaging/installer/methods/source.md index ba29a188d..5345a1a4c 100644 --- a/packaging/installer/methods/source.md +++ b/packaging/installer/methods/source.md @@ -38,6 +38,7 @@ Additionally, the following build time features require additional dependencies: - A recent version of CMake - OpenSSL 1.0.2 or newer _or_ LibreSSL 3.0.0 or newer. - JSON-C (may be provided by the user as shown below, or by the system) + - protobuf (Google Protocol Buffers) and protoc compiler ## Preparing the source tree -- cgit v1.2.3
