Install collection dependencies in ansible with differing proxy settings - ansible

Problem: I want to install a collection via ansible-galaxy, but one needs a proxy and the other one does not
galaxy.html of the needed collection:
dependencies:
community.docker: 2.4.0
git+https://gitlab.test.org/collections/test: master
In this example, community.docker needs a proxy to be installed, the other one fails if a proxy is set.
Is there a possibility to unset the proxy or set the proxy for a dependency in the galaxy.yml file?

Setting the no_proxy environment variable on the controller is a fine solution for this problem.
export no_proxy=gitlab.test.org
It can get rather aggregious to do this though if you have similar names for your gitlab instances, but worked for me.

Conda ProxyError

I am trying to install conda packages/create environments behind a corporate firewall
On another machine, I managed to install packages from conda default channels by setting the HTTP/HTTPS proxies and ssl_verify: False in conda config.
However, I am now getting ProxyError: Conda cannot proceed due to an error in your proxy configuration. Check for typos and other configuration errors in any '.netrc' file in your home directory, any environment variables ending in '_PROXY', and any other system-wide proxy configuration settings.
I have verified that conda is not accessing any .netrc file through conda info
.condarc:
channels:
- defaults
# Show channel URLs when displaying what is going to be downloaded and
# in 'conda list'. The default is False.
show_channel_urls: True
allow_other_channels: True
proxy_servers:
http: http://abc.cde.local:XXXX
https: https://abc.cde.local:XXXX
ssl_verify: False
Here are the steps I have tried to resolve my issue:
I have verified that the proxy URLs are correct and can make outgoing requests through these URLs
I have tried to set the two settings both through conda config --set and .condarc
I have tried to set the proxies through environmental variables
I cannot make changes to Windows proxy settings or do anything that requires any admin permissions.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
If you know your condarc file is correct, on Windows you need to make sure that your environment variables are "http_proxy" and https_proxy", lowercase.
Also, most proxies use an unencrypted traffic to the proxy. So make sure the URLs to your proxy are both http://
Finally, when you change your enviroment variables in Windows you must start a new powershell session for the changes to take affect.
This and the correct conda RC file solved it for me.

How to set no proxy in yarn

I am trying to install packages from within the corporate network along with some packages that exist within the corporate repository. I was able to configure the following proxy settings for yarn
yarn config set proxy "${PROXY}"
yarn config set https-proxy "${PROXY}"
But since some packages exist within the corporate network installing them fails. I couldnt find a way to set no proxy for internal corporate urls. There is a workaround posted here - https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/5048#issuecomment-604181595. But I would like to know if there is a better way
yarn doesn't seem to to have a concept of no proxy. It either tries to proxy everything or nothing...very naive. Fortunately, npm does so we use npm for all of our projects.

HTTP 407 while attempting to get dependencies using dep

I am trying to work on a Go open source project, on a corporate device. Attempts to address the dependencies via dep ensure command always return 407 PROXY AUTH required. I do have http_proxy and https_proxy environment variable set with values in the format http://user:pasword#proxyname:proxyport. I have also attempted to set the git configs http.proxy. But I do get the same error. What am I missing?
Thanks
This is owing to Git client configuration issues and mismatch between git binary and gnutls. I have had to recompile git binary using openssl, to get this to work.

Cargo on Windows behind a corporate proxy

I think this is a very common issue among those who want to use Cargo with Windows at work; I have seen multiple GitHub issues and forum posts related to it, but none of the answers solved my problems.
Whenever I try to build some code pointing to a crates.io crate, I get the following error:
Downloading <package>
error: unable to get packages from source
Caused by:
failed to download package <package> from <package address>
Caused by:
SSL connect error
What can I do to fix this? I know that Cargo can use the settings at .cargo/config and that the proxy details can be included there, but it doesn't work for me, with or without specifying the path for the certificate (I used the one distributed with curl), like below:
[http]
proxy = "http://user:password#proxy-address.xyz:port"
cainfo = "cert.pem"
[https]
proxy = "https://user:password#proxy-address.xyz:port"
cainfo = "cert.pem"
The proxy specified in the config file works for any other purpose.
I'm using Windows 7 64bit, Rust 1.11 GNU and Cargo bundled with it. How can I get this working? Currently I have to resort to downloading crate sources manually from their repositories and specifying paths = [...] for each of them in the Cargo config file.
I had the same problem, and I solved simply setting environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy with http(s)://user:password#proxy-address.xyz:port.
The only annoiyng part is that, when you need to unset the proxy (e.g. when you are smart-working from another network without using company's VPN) you have to unset / delete those variables.
It appears that this is no longer an issue as of cargo 0.13 bundled with Rust 1.13 stable - I no longer need to manually download packages and put them in paths in cargo's config file.

Not able to connect to atom.io for themes and packages

I believe my work proxy is preventing me from being able to add themes and packages to Atom. From the preferences menu, I get:
Fetching featured packages and themes failed. Hide output…
tunneling socket could not be established, cause=140499728967552:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol:../deps/openssl/openssl/ssl/s23_clnt.c:766:
Is it possible to make it use my $https_proxy variable? Is there some way to configure it to not use https?
You can configure your proxy settings in ~/.atom/.apmrc (or Atom\resources\app\apm\node_modules\atom-package-manager\.apmrc in Windows). Per the apm README:
If you are using a proxy you can configure apm to use it by setting the https-proxy config in your ~/.atom/.apmrc file like so:
https-proxy = https://9.0.2.1:0
It seems that as of Atom 1.0, there are some components that respect the http-proxy and https-proxy variables, and others that don't. For example, the initial check for the version of Atom works, but the check for packages doesn't seem to respect the http-proxy or https-proxy settings.
I was able to get Atom working with Fiddler as my proxy (on 127.0.0.1:8888) by running the following commands (on Windows):
apm config set proxy http://127.0.0.1:8888
apm config set strict-ssl false
I did not need to set http-proxy or https-proxy. I don't know if these settings have been deprecated or not, but they don't seem to work reliably in 1.0. The setting proxy works (and upgrades itself to TLS 1.2 automatically).
The entirety of my %USERPROFILE%\.atom\.apmrc file is:
strict-ssl=false
proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888/
I was getting this error on Windows 7 fro Atom 1.0, when trying to look up packages.
In my case the issue was resolved by setting https-proxy variable to use http protocole instead of https. so both of the following parameters have exact same value.
here are the values from ~.atom.apmrc file
proxy=http://[host]:[port]/
https-proxy=http://[host]:[port]/
the answer by #NYCdotNet below that suggested to use
strict-ssl=false
didn't work as i was able to lookup some packages but installation failed with timeout error from GIT.
Atom will use your shell's proxy variables (like $https_proxy) if you start Atom from a shell that has these variables set. You need to have the Atom command line tools installed for that to work.
From a shell, you can simply type atom to open the editor for the current directory. It will use all environment variables from this shell, including the proxy variables.
I find this a lot easier than setting the variables in the config file.
I edited the ~/.atom/.apmrc file to set my proxy as mentioned by #AlexMooney, but still got errors.
The solution was to write
proxy = http://host:port
strict-ssl = false
in that ~/.atom/.apmrc file.
For Windows you can easily configure the https-proxy via command line:
amd config set https-proxy https://9.0.2.1:0
It should be stored under C:\Users\...\.apm in file .apmrc
See userconfig with command
amd config list
To config Proxy for Atom to install new pakage, just open CMD and run these commands:
apm config set strict-ssl false
apm config set proxy your_proxy
apm config set your_proxy
I am working behind a proxy server and spent about half a day on this issue, setting https_proxy as well as http_proxy didn't make a difference.
What did it for me was setting the proxy from the cmd line like so:
apm config set proxy http://myproxyaddress:port
I still can't install packages through Atom's gui, but doing it through the cmd line works fine. That I'll take.
I later realised I could've switched to the wifi and got it to work immediately...
