Proxy Support For Okta Beat

Prerequisites

Ensure the following prerequisites have been met before configuring Docker:

  • The http_proxy environment variable has been exported and sourced.

  • The https_proxy environment variable has been exported and sourced.

Configure Proxy for GitHub Access

Create an environment proxy configuration by doing the following:

  1. Run the following command to open the /etc/environment file:

    vi /etc/environment


  2. Add the following to the environment file:

    http_proxy=http://proxy_info:proxyPort
    https_proxy=http://proxy_info:proxyPort
    no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1"


  3. Log off and then log back in.
    You can now hit GitHub with "wget" commands.

Configure Docker

After you have run ./lrctl init to install Docker, complete the following steps to configure Docker to use the proxy:

  1. Run the following command to create a systemd drop-in directory for the Docker service:

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


  2. Do one of the following:Create a file called /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/http-proxy.conf that adds the HTTP_PROXY environment variable:[Service] Environment="HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:PORT"If you are behind an HTTPS proxy server, create a file called /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/https-proxy.conf that adds the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable:[Service] Environment="HTTPS_PROXY=https://proxy.example.com:PORT"

  3. Run the following command to flush the changes:

    $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload


  4. Run the following command to restart Docker:

    $ sudo systemctl restart docker


  5. Verify that Docker is able to pull images from a repository by running the following command:

    $ docker run hello-world


  6. Update the ~/.docker/config.json file by adding the following:

    Use the http URL in httpsProxy since both of the machines are on the same private network.


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