salt-bootstrap.sh behind proxy

[David Karlsen]

Hi

I'm using salty vagrant to provision a vagrant box with salt.

It uses salt_bootstrap.sh to boostrap the salt minion.

I'm behind a http(s)-proxy - is there a way to configure proxies for it?

[Mike Flood]

what if you set the environment variable http_proxy in your shell ? Does that
work ?

cheers,

Just add to salt_bootstrap.sh with your environment http_proxy  after "#!/bin/sh"
e.g
--snip--
#!/bin/sh
## My proxy
http_proxy=http://proxy:8080/
https_proxy=http://proxy:8080/
--snip--

Sorry to revisit an old thread.

Having just battled with salt-bootstrap and HTTP proxies, I've just had an epiphany: by default the bootstrap script connects to github

using the git:// protocol, not https://, so all my efforts to configure proxy settings were futile.

Of course, you can alter the git URL (and hence protocol)  using '-g', but is there any reason bootstrap can't default to using https:// when installing from github ? I'd expect a fair slab of users are behind a corporate HTTP proxy, and https:// URLs are going to work regardless.

cheers,

Interesting idea, I'm not sure what the implications would be. Mind opening an issue on the salt-bootstrap github repo and we can discuss it there?
