How do I manually set the proxy on podman windows?

[tjaart]

The problem I am facing is that I use a proxy that runs locally on my machine, but when the proxy variables are passed into podman, the proxy host is seen as: 127.0.0.1 which is the wsl VM localhost and not my windows host.

• I have tried setting it via podman desktop, but this had no effect.
• I have tried setting it by changing the proxy env vars in the podman wsl machine, but this is overridden
• I tried setting up /etc/containers/containers.conf as follows and restarting with podman machine stop and then podman machine start:

[containers]
http_proxy=false

[engine]
cgroup_manager = "cgroupfs"
env = [ "http_proxy=http://host.docker.internal:3128", "https_proxy=http://host.docker.internal:3128"]

But nothing works.

When I call set in the wsl container I still get the same stuff back:

http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:3128/
https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:3128/

podman.exe version 4.3.0

Would be interested in a solution, too.
