In my company, we build most of our projects using composer, which means a lot of repeated packages (same library with same version) getting downloaded from the internet across my different teams.
I have tried Satis Composer Server,but the problem is the cache is not generated on demand.
I want to implement a central caching service which can help implement runtime caching or on demand cache.
Is it possible to implement?
Today, Github faced a short outage and that made me look into your question. I've got multiple webservers and I'd like to setup one of them as a git proxy server. There is no need for a webserver to look download from Github (or Bitbucket, Gitlab, etc.) if it can download the same package from the internal network.
I found this blog post, explaining two (not actively maintained) options:

local caching server for git when the actual server is on the other side of a (possibly slow) WAN link

A full proxy for composer repositories
