[fog] Setting up Fog behind a proxy

[SimpleSi]

I tried the Fog VM at one school at it set up fine -easy peasy.

 

But I'm not getting very far in trying to set up my own VM with the latest Fog release.

 

Looking at other posts - its seems a bit tricky to get Fog setup on Ubuntu when working behind an RBC proxy.

 

Has anyone managed to do this? And is so - what do you need to do?

is this at the actuall install level?

 

if so i think:

export http_proxy=http://USER:PASS@PROXY:PORT

 

should set it before fog uses apt-get to install packages

Hi, you may have checked this thread, but when I couldn't access the net via the school proxy, I did get it working using the last few posts in http://www.edugeek.net/forums/nix/35654-proxy-ubuntu-fog.html

 

Not a ubuntu wiz at all, but managed to get it to work.

It will run behind a proxy, but certain parts of the management interface get very sluggish and the kernel update section doesn't work at all (you can still install more manually though). The actual imaging functionailty doesn't seem to be affected though.

Ta -

export http_proxy=http://proxy.lancsngfl.ac.uk:8080

 

worked fine and mysql was able to install itself

np, thats exactly what i have to do for fedora FOG machines but i tend to install fog on them outside the lancsngfl fedora 11 has massive issues with the proxy and the amazingly small whitelist
