3.4. Configuring proxy support in Operator Lifecycle Manager
If a global proxy is configured on the OpenShift Container Platform cluster, Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) automatically configures Operators that it manages with the cluster-wide proxy. However, you can also configure installed Operators to override the global proxy or inject a custom CA certificate.
Additional resources
- Configuring the cluster-wide proxy
- Configuring a custom PKI (custom CA certificate)
3.4.1. Overriding proxy settings of an Operator
If a cluster-wide egress proxy is configured, Operators running with Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) inherit the cluster-wide proxy settings on their deployments. Cluster administrators can also override these proxy settings by configuring the subscription of an Operator.
Operators must handle setting environment variables for proxy settings in the pods for any managed Operands.
Prerequisites
-
Access to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster using an account with
cluster-admin
permissions.
Procedure
-
Navigate in the web console to the Operators
OperatorHub page. - Select the Operator and click Install.
On the Install Operator page, modify the
Subscription
object to include one or more of the following environment variables in thespec
section:-
HTTP_PROXY
-
HTTPS_PROXY
-
NO_PROXY
For example:
Subscription
object with proxy setting overridesapiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1 kind: Subscription metadata: name: etcd-config-test namespace: openshift-operators spec: config: env: - name: HTTP_PROXY value: test_http - name: HTTPS_PROXY value: test_https - name: NO_PROXY value: test channel: clusterwide-alpha installPlanApproval: Automatic name: etcd source: community-operators sourceNamespace: openshift-marketplace startingCSV: etcdoperator.v0.9.4-clusterwide
注意These environment variables can also be unset using an empty value to remove any previously set cluster-wide or custom proxy settings.
OLM handles these environment variables as a unit; if at least one of them is set, all three are considered overridden and the cluster-wide defaults are not used for the deployments of the subscribed Operator.
-
- Click Install to make the Operator available to the selected namespaces.
After the CSV for the Operator appears in the relevant namespace, you can verify that custom proxy environment variables are set in the deployment. For example, using the CLI:
$ oc get deployment -n openshift-operators \ etcd-operator -o yaml \ | grep -i "PROXY" -A 2
Example output
- name: HTTP_PROXY value: test_http - name: HTTPS_PROXY value: test_https - name: NO_PROXY value: test image: quay.io/coreos/etcd-operator@sha256:66a37fd61a06a43969854ee6d3e21088a98b93838e284a6086b13917f96b0d9c ...
3.4.2. Injecting a custom CA certificate
When a cluster administrator adds a custom CA certificate to a cluster using a config map, the Cluster Network Operator merges the user-provided certificates and system CA certificates into a single bundle. You can inject this merged bundle into your Operator running on Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM), which is useful if you have a man-in-the-middle HTTPS proxy.
Prerequisites
-
Access to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster using an account with
cluster-admin
permissions. - Custom CA certificate added to the cluster using a config map.
- Desired Operator installed and running on OLM.
Procedure
Create an empty config map in the namespace where the subscription for your Operator exists and include the following label:
apiVersion: v1 kind: ConfigMap metadata: name: trusted-ca 1 labels: config.openshift.io/inject-trusted-cabundle: "true" 2
After creating this config map, it is immediately populated with the certificate contents of the merged bundle.
Update your the
Subscription
object to include aspec.config
section that mounts thetrusted-ca
config map as a volume to each container within a pod that requires a custom CA:kind: Subscription metadata: name: my-operator spec: package: etcd channel: alpha config: 1 selector: matchLabels: <labels_for_pods> 2 volumes: 3 - name: trusted-ca configMap: name: trusted-ca items: - key: ca-bundle.crt 4 path: tls-ca-bundle.pem 5 volumeMounts: 6 - name: trusted-ca mountPath: /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem readOnly: true
