Web Safety 8.5 in Docker with Squid 5.7

This project provides a full Docker image for Web Safety, including Squid proxy rebuilt to enable SSL decryption and HTTPS filtering (version 5.7).

Web Safety for Squid Proxy is the ICAP web filtering server that provides rich content and web filtering functionality to sanitize Internet traffic passing into an internal home/enterprise network. It may be used to block illegal or potentially malicious file downloads, remove annoying advertisements, prevent access to various categories of web sites and block resources with explicit content. The application is easily deployed and managed, requires minimal external dependencies, very robust and runs with the excellent performance.

It supports all major Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, RedHat). With the latest release of Docker it can also run on Microsoft Windows and Apple MacOS X.

Check the upgrade documentation for more informaion about the changes and hints at a potential upgrade path from previous images.
