bifrost does not support http proxy configurations

[Haomeng,Wang]

I run biforst in an env which connect to Internet via proxy, but looks like it does not support http proxy configurations, or I dont know how/where can be set to enable proxy, any idea?

[Haomeng,Wang (whaom)]

I try to set http_proxy and https_proxy env ver, then run biforst to install/deploy ironic, but not working.

Is the proxy requirement you have only for the retrieval of packages for installation?

You may wish to review https://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_environment.html

I can confirm that by default bifrost doesn't support proxy.
Requires at least pip and ansible calls modifications

[Peter Martini (petercmartini)]

apt and pip both support global settings for proxies, which would get those to work, but then we'd still need an explicit proxy for the one or two wgets and for the github pulls. Is it better to thus say if the user specifies a proxy, we will add that as a manual override for anything that would want to touch the network or to say we'll use a proxy for everything that wouldn't otherwise be configured?

I think this is fix by this patch - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/198700
