Could not install awx behind a corporate proxy

[Wilfried Anuzet]

Hello,

I'm facing a problem installing awx behind our corporate proxy.
I already added our proxy credentials for multiple tools inside the Dockerfile.j2 but the awx_web build task still fail.

Here's what I already done in the container j2 file:

• Add a /root/.bashrc file with proxy credentials
• Add /etc/yum.conf with proxy credentials
• set a global proxy conf for git
  
• use command 
  pip --proxy http://login:password@proxy:port
  
  install instead of just
  pip install
  
  

Here's the kind of error I get:

My thought is that it's indeed related to the corporate proxy not set in the virtualenv.
Any clue ?

Thanks.

Hello,

i have installed  an hour  ago AWX behind a Proxy.

OS: RHEL7 

yum install docker python-docker

Setup docker for proxy

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

[Service]

Environment="HTTP_PROXY=http:...."

git clone ....

Under  ../installer/image_build/

1) set ENV http_proxy/https_proxy  in the template Dockerfile.j2 (for curl)

2) create a yum.conf with the appropriate proxy settings under files/

3) create a staging task similar to nginx.conf in the tasks/main.yml

ansible-playbook -i inventory install.yml 

this may take a while .....
