configure local proxy

Zonk · 30. März 2016

Hello,

I would like to use OMV on a Raspberry Pi 2 behind a local proxy server. I downloaded the image with omv from sourceforge and omv 2.2 runs.
I tried to setup omv by reading tutorials but all info based on PC-hardware and a specific setup routine where a proxy can easily be put in.

I think there must be a way to configure proxy without setup program but I have not found it in the web gui.
Could someone help?

I have little experience with Linux Mint and Raspbian. Do I have to edit /etc/apt/apt.conf?
Is there a novice friendly editor?

Sorry for my english.

Depends, a proxy just for apt or global?

OMV3 has the ability to configure a proxy via Webgui. But OMV3 is beta. In OMV2 you have to setup it on your own.

votdev: great to hear that OMV3 will have "built-in proxy support"

Zonk: I usually add the proxy config to the following files:
/etc/environment

Code

http_proxy=http://host:port/
https_proxy=http://host:port/
ftp_proxy=http://host:port/
no_proxy="127.0.0.1,local"

and add a file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy with this content:

Code

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://host:port/";
Acquire::ftp::Proxy "http://host:port/";

of course you need to change host:port to your proxy config

Most of the proxy requirements should be fulfilled with this. There might be stuff which might need additional config (maybe wget, curl, ...) but most are able to use the config from /etc/environment.

Sorry for my late answer but I hadn't configured email notification so I was waiting for nothing.

Meanwhile I have created /etc/apt/apt.conf with:

Code

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://host:port/";
Acquire::https::Proxy "http://host:port/";
Acquire::ftp::Proxy "http://host:port/";

It was a little bit tricky because I'm using a german keyboard and I never used "nano" before. apt-get works now.
That's what I wanted. Other services shall not reach internet.

Today I have stumbled about some other issues. I think I open new threads therefore.

Thanks

apt.conf is not used anymore, probably still works but is recommended that you place your config at apt.conf.d/

I have copied /apt/apt.conf to /apt/apt.conf.d/40proxy.conf and it works too.

Meanwhile I figured out that "bananian-update" needs more configuration. In /etc/profile I added as follows:

Code

###  in etc/profile 


export http_proxy=http://192.168.1.1:3128
export https_proxy=http://192.168.1.1:3128
export ftp_proxy=http://192.168.1.1:3128
export HTTP_PROXY=$http_proxy
export HTTPS_PROXY=$https_proxy
export FTP_PROXY=$ftp_proxy

It seems to work.

configure local proxy

Jetzt mitmachen!
