http_proxy

Ansible Role: HTTP Proxy

An ansible role to configure a proxy server for a Linux based system.

Requirements

The role targets Linux systems which respect and load /etc/profile.d/*.sh files.

It configures a profile file for the HTTP proxy environment variables. Optionally, a /etc/sudoers.d/keep_proxy file will also be created to sustain the variable on sudo commands.

Role Variables

No variable is required if you follow the Ansible documentation closely. If a proxy_env variable list is defined, with the respected http_* variables, the role will set these automatically.

Optional:

# proxy_http_proxy: ''
# proxy_https_proxy: ''
# proxy_no_proxy: ''
proxy_keep_when_sudo: true # Whether to keep the proxy variables when switching users with sudo

If any of the above proxy_http* variables is set, the proxy configuration will be applied. Otherwise the configuration will be removed.

Dependencies

None

            proxy_https_proxy: "http://my-proxy:3129"
            proxy_no_proxy: "my-net.net" # Completely Optional
