How to set a proxy on bosh-cli

Question

I'm trying to upload a bosh release into the director. I use a Virtualbox environment and I'm behind a corporate proxy.

Even when I've tried to set the proxy with

export https_proxy=http://myproxy:3128

or with

export BOSH_ALL_PROXY=http://myproxy:3128

I never manage to do any download Does someone know how to do ?

MBP-de-Olivier:bosh-deployment olivier$ bosh -e vbox upload-release https://bosh.io/d/github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-release?v=283
Using environment '192.168.50.6' as client 'admin'
Task 13

Task 13 | 15:28:45 | Downloading remote release: Downloading remote release (00:00:05)
               L Error: Failed to open TCP connection to bosh.io:443 (Address family not supported by protocol - socket(2) for "bosh.io" port 443)
Task 13 | 15:28:50 | Error: Failed to open TCP connection to bosh.io:443 (Address family not supported by protocol - socket(2) for "bosh.io" port 443)

I've seen that error "Address family not supported by protocol" outside of BOSH when ipv6 is disabled, but /etc/hosts has IPv6 format IPs. I'm not sure if bosh-lite has ipv6 config and thats not supported by your proxy. — Eddie, Feb 05 '18 at 00:33

Have you tried to download the release locally and upload to your bosh director from local host.

I agree that I can do it by this way and it works fine as workaround but I don't understand why it doesn't work by upload directly with the bosh upload-release command – user3876986 Jan 15 '18 at 13:08

I think you should add the following lines:

export http_proxy=http://yourproxy:3128
export https_proxy=http://yourproxy:3128

Are you sure that 3128 is the correct port? This seems as if you are using cntlm (or another similar local proxy). If it is a local proxy: Is the service running? Can the service connect to the corporate proxy?

Yes I'm sure as i use this proxy port to configure my firefox to be able to go on internet. It's a corporate proxy. – user3876986 Jan 22 '18 at 16:12
Did you also set both environment variables? – muehsi Jan 23 '18 at 07:54
Yes I add http_proxy and https_proxy – user3876986 Jan 23 '18 at 11:08

My guess is that the BOSH director does not know it must use a proxy. I'm under the impression you tried to configure the proxy at the bosh-cli level, but the download is performed by the director itself.

You could try to re-deploy the director with your proxy configuration. You can use this ops file in order to do so.
