Build with corporate proxy

[Xan2063]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to configure the build for Kafka Connect behind a corporate proxy. I tried the following approaches, but none of the seem to work

• set the http_proxy and https_proxy env var for the build container template
• set the BUILD_ARGS env var for the build container env var
• Trying to set the additionalKaniko arguments to --build-args http_proxy=proxy:8080

The last one creates an error message that this is an illegal parameter, the first one fail on the curl in the build container.

Am I missing something to get the proxy in?

Thanks for your work!

I do not think this was ever tested with a proxy. How do you build other containers behind proxy? Or how would you build the generated Dockerfile behind your proxy?

Usually we pass the proxy configuration to the docker process and set the proxy inside the Docker file or pass them as arguments to the build command.

Ok, I created #4814 for this and will try to get to it. But not sure this will happen before 0.23 is released I'm afraid :-(.

Thank you, commented a bit more on the issue. I am now building the image myself and just reference it, so everything works for now.

I tried creating a proxy image, setting this one as image to the connect cluster and then building on top of this. But the build container then keeps claiming he wants to download a null image from docker. So no luck on this one either.
