How do you run this behind a corporate proxy?

[JasonCubic]

I can not figure out how to run this behind our corporate proxy. There must be a solution that I am overlooking. Could you add a section to the documentation explaining how to configure this to run behind a corporate proxy please?

This is the error I am seeing when I try to run iotedgedev start:

iotedgedev follows proxy setting from OS. I don't know which OS are you using, you can try following method which is supported by multiple OS: Set http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables in your operating system, and make sure your shell has loaded these new environment variables. If the OS you're using does not support this, please search how to setup proxy for that OS.

I'm on windows 10. Typically you don't set a proxy on the os you set it in the browser. I can set those environment variables though. Don't you run iotedgedev start inside a docker container though? Maybe I need to set proxy variables in the docker container?

On windows 10, you can also go to "settings -> network & internet -> proxy" to set the proxy. If you run it in docker container, please make sure the proxy is accessible inside your container and set proxy in docker container.

[JasonCubic]

okay, but the instructions have you launch it inside the docker container. I tried setting the proxy inside the docker container and it didn't seem to work. Can you put something in the docs about how to set the proxy if you need to?

Hi @JasonCubic

Can you provide the link to the instruction you mentioned?

okay, but the instructions have you launch it inside the docker containe

Thanks @JasonCubic , your question is now on our backlog. We will circle back when we have updates to share.

@JasonCubic

How did you configure the proxy inside the docker container? Please let us know if this step was followed. https://docs.docker.com/network/proxy/#configure-the-docker-client

Also, on Docker client running on Windows, you can set the proxy from manually --. Let us know if this works

Updated the doc (add a line for configuring the proxy) https://github.com/Azure/iotedgedev/blob/master/README.md
