#### A lightweight caching proxy for the Snap Store

Arcus is a lightweight proxy to the Snap Store for your snap devices. Once
installed and configured, your devices can be configured to talk to the Snap
Store via Arcus. Arcus caches downloaded snaps, and acts as a single point
of egress from your network.

# Quickstart

Install the ols-arcus snap and run:

```
 ols-arcus.arcus register https://my.arcus.internal me@example.com
```

to register and configure your arcus instance. After that's done, client device
configuration instructions will be printed out. Run

```
 ols-arcus.arcus register --help
```

for details on the `register` command arguments.

# TLS

`tls` sub-command can be used to manage the TLS certificate used by arcus to
encrypt traffic it receives from client devices. The registration command,
generates a self signed certificate for arcus, if the registered arcus
location is an HTTPS location. This certificate can be changed or exported
as needed using the `tls` command. `tls --off` and `tls --on` can be used to
disable/enable TLS.

# Status

`status` command will print out the most essential information about the running
Arcus instance.

# Configuration

`configure` command can be used for finer grade management of configuration
options.
