Proxy Support

[lupaulus]

Hey very nice project,

It is possible to add proxy settings to use the software inside a corporate proxy network ?

Greetings,

@lupaulus You mean the desktop version, right? (Just to be sure)

[lupaulus]

Yes headlamp desktop

Hey @lupaulus May I know how do you setup proxy for other tools(like kubectl) that interact with the cluster? I was wondering if this can be solved by using the proxy-url config that is supported by kubeconfig .

With K9s, I setup two entry variable at the startup like in linux : http_proxy=<http_proxy> https_proxy=<https_proxy>

[omniproc]

proxy support would require at least http_proxy, https_proxy and no_proxy env vars to be configurable. However please be aware that there is no format syntax definition for the values of those environment variables. Also you might want to add those options to the headlamp settings because you might want different proxy settings for headlamp instead using global environment variables (not a big deal on Linux, but on other platforms it is).

➕ 1️⃣ For this feature, i'm expecting that headlamp aware of proxy-url which supported by kubeconfig

Currently i'm using this workaround, starting headlamp from CLI

$ export HTTPS_PROXY=socks5://localhost:8080
$ /Applications/Headlamp.app/Contents/MacOS/Headlamp

@joaquimrocha Should we add an option in the UI to configure the proxy for each cluster? We wont be able to fetch the value from the CLI when running in app mode.

There's also OS specific proxy settings. Not sure the current best way to get them, but there's an older article here with a few pointers and explanation: https://evandontje.com/2020/04/02/automatic-system-proxy-configuration-for-electron-applications/

that would be really great, because I access my clusters via socks5 proxy
