Set HTTP Proxy variables for Podman

To pull images behind a proxy server, you must set HTTP proxy variables for Podman. Podman reads the environment variable HTTP_PROXY to ascertain the HTTP Proxy information. HTTP proxy information can be configured as an environment variable or under /etc/profile.d.

Before you begin

  • The container-tool meta package is installed.

Procedure

Set proxy variables for Podman. For example:
  • Unauthenticated proxy: 
    # cat /etc/profile.d/unauthenticated_http_proxy.sh
     
    export HTTP_PROXY=http://192.168.0.1:3128
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://192.168.0.1:3128
export NO_PROXY=example.com,172.5.0.0/16
  • Authenticated proxy: 
    # cat /etc/profile.d/authenticated_http_proxy.sh
     
    export HTTP_PROXY=http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@192.168.0.1:3128
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@192.168.0.1:3128
export NO_PROXY=example.com,172.5.0.0/16
