Proxy setup

Interested in adding more configurations? Head here and comment adding more! ***

curl/apt/many others

vi /etc/environment

append the following:

http_proxy=http://<host:port>
https_proxy=http://<host:port>
ftp_proxy=http://<host:port>
no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.0"

most cli apps/any app that utilizes $http_proxy variables

vi ~/.bashrc

append the following:

http_proxy=http://<host:port>
https_proxy=http://<host:port>
ftp_proxy=http://<host:port>
no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.0,24,192.168.39.0/24"
HTTP_PROXY=$http_proxy
HTTPS_PROXY=$https_proxy
NO_PROXY=$no_proxy

vscode (Visual Studio Code)

Start up vscode using the following command

code --proxy-server="http=$http_proxy;https=$https_proxy"

Or you can set the http_proxy variable in the settings file but some features (such as the extensions marketplace) have yet to migrate over to the new proxy settings and I would recommend sticking with the above method.

Maven

vi $~/.m2/settings.xml

append or create the file with the following content

<settings>
  .
  .
  <proxies>
   <proxy>
      <id>example-proxy</id>
      <active>true</active>
      <protocol>http</protocol>
      <host>proxy.example.com</host>
      <port>8080</port>
      <username>proxyuser</username>
      <password>somepassword</password>
      <nonProxyHosts>www.google.com|*.example.com</nonProxyHosts>
    </proxy>
  </proxies>
  .
  .
</settings>

Docker

For the Docker client (ie the docker containers one creates)

vi ~/.docker/config.json

{
 "proxies":
 {
   "default":
   {
     "httpProxy": "http://127.0.0.1:3001",
     "httpsProxy": "http://127.0.0.1:3001",
     "noProxy": "*.test.example.com,.example2.com"
   }
 }
}

For the docker daemon (ie for when you pull/push images) on a systemd machine

sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d

If you are behind an http proxy

sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/http-proxy.conf

[Service]
Environment="HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:80/"

Or if you are behind an https proxy

sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/https-proxy.conf

[Service]
Environment="HTTPS_PROXY=https://proxy.example.com:443/"	

Then reload the changes

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart docker

And ensure your proxy appears in the following output

systemctl show --property=Environment docker
