Add support for building CAPI images behind an HTTP proxy #79

Closed alexbrand closed 4 years ago

alexbrand commented 4 years ago

As a CAPI user, I want to be able to build my own images behind a corporate HTTP proxy.

At first glance, the following changes are needed:

Flow http proxy vars into ansible
Manually download goss
Disable the automatic download of goss in the goss plugin

A quick update on this after a bit of searching...

Packer already supports the 3 main proxy env vars:

HTTP_PROXY
HTTPS_PROXY
NO_PROXY

So there is nothing to do on the Packer side -- these vars will be honored during any needed ISO downloads.

For Ansible, we'd need to set the environment for the entire playbook. So, we'd need to edit our playbook.yml to define the environment, and then pass them in from Packer via --extra-vars.
