[enhancement] maas-proxy port should be configurable

[Scott Hussey]

When using MAAS as a proxy for joining nodes to access the package repository, the port the proxy listens on is non-configurable and hardcoded to 8000. This should be configurable, preferably via API, but at the very least by a value on the /etc/maas/regiond.conf file.

@Scott,

Master now provides the ability to define the proxy port where the MAAS built-in proxy will be providing services. It will automatically be used for newly deployed machines.

This will be a config option exposed as maas_proxy_port, before we start the backport process, just want to confirm this is what you had in mind.

Thanks.

Yeah, I think this works great. I'm about to open another one about the syslog log_port parameter for PXE-booting nodes.

Dear all,

MAAS 2.3.4 and MAAS 2.4.1 will contain this new option available only over the API. An example on how to set it is:

maas <user> maas set-config name=maas_proxy_port value=9000

MAAS 2.3.4, 2.4.1 are currently under testing before release. Once released we will make the proper announcements!

Thanks

This looks good, thank you.
