minikube: setting proxy inside minikube

[Basil Joseph]

Hi,

I am trying to run fabric8 on Kubernetes with the help of minikube.

I am working behind a corporate proxy with authentication enabled.

I am running Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS. 

And I have set http_proxy, http_proxy and and no_proxy on /etc/environment.

And then I have started minikube (with virtualbox) with the below command.

minikube start --memory 6000 --docker-env http_proxy=http_proxy=http://username:password@ourproxy:port --docker-env https_proxy=https://username:password@ourproxy:port --docker-env no_proxy=192.168.99.0/24

I have verified the proxy settings with docker info command inside minikube.

I believe pulling docker images is also working without any issues.

But if I try to clone a git repo inside minikube, it will fail due to SSL error.

When I captured the packets in Ubuntu with wireshark, it is found that git command is not using proxy settings.

If I add an environment variable inside minikube like below, git clone will succeed.

export https_proxy=https://username:password@ourproxy:port

This is not to be confused with the docker env.

This is inside the minikube shell.

basil@Fabric8-Kubernet-Server:~$ minikube ssh

<--->

$ docker env

<--->

Http Proxy: http://username:password@ourproxy:port

Https Proxy: https://username:password@ourproxy:port

No Proxy: 192.168.99.0/24

$ env

<--->

Exporting proxy and it is shown in env

$ export https_proxy=https://username:password@ourproxy:port

$ env

<--->

https_proxy=https://username:password@ourproxy:port

Unfortunately this settings seems to go away, if I logout and login again to minikube(without stop/start).

If I add these settings in /etc/profile, it can survive logout and login. But it is wiped with stop/start.

So is there any way to set the proxy settings in minikube shell along with docker.

I believe this is required for getting rid of SSL error during fabric8 deployment.

Thanks,

Basil.
