Make Braincase work from within AUTs Proxy #228

Closed hamstar closed 11 years ago

hamstar commented 12 years ago

Proxy only allows ports:
- 80
- 8080
- 443

SSH access will be unattainable on a student account unless connected over the wifi through a student laptop.

Maybe we could make another deb package with the settings for the proxy in it once we figure them out.

bhavicp commented 12 years ago

We should simply provide some instructions/documentation which allow a proxy to be added to Debian via CLI (or web interface).

bhavicp commented 12 years ago

This has been completed, the instructions are under misc in the User Documentation. They haven't been tested yet, but will be when we are able to use the AUT environment.

hamstar commented 12 years ago

We should add a script or file to the package that sets this automatically.

Perhaps have some config settings in the braincase config
Have global proxy settings for the whole system
- as a dokuwiki page
- setting in /etc/braincase)

There are settings in dokuwiki that allow configuration of a proxy:

//Proxy setup - if your Server needs a proxy to access the web set these
$conf['proxy']['host']    = '';
$conf['proxy']['port']    = '';
$conf['proxy']['user']    = '';
$conf['proxy']['pass']    = '';
$conf['proxy']['ssl']     = 0;
$conf['proxy']['except']  = '';

The above can be put in etc/dokuwiki/local.php but we could have some kind of script on install that asks if proxy is required and configures for the user if need be.
