miniconda https issue behind proxy

[colindaven]

As we discussed previously, ansible does not support https proxies.

This is a problem for the miniconda installation.

One workaround is manual download of miniconda to /tmp/

wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-3.19.0-Linux-x86_64.sh
cp Miniconda3-3.19.0-Linux-x86_64.sh /tmp/

The ansible "miniconda installer is downloaded" must be set to ignore errors if this is to succeed (below, the second line in this code was added).

nano GalaxyKickStart/roles/miniconda-role/tasks/main.yml

• name: miniconda installer is downloaded ignore_errors: yes get_url: url="https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/{{ miniconda_installer }}" dest="/tmp/{{ miniconda_installer }}" checksum="{{ miniconda_installer_checksum }}" force={{ 'yes' if miniconda_installer_checksum == '' else 'no' }} mode=0755

Perhaps an alternative solution would be to do a quick and dirty wget to /tmp/ if the task fails ?
