Environment

  • ansible-builder

Issue

Resolution

  • Need to set the proxy in execution-environment.yml like below:

    • ansible-builder version 1
    ---
version: 1
additional_build_steps:
  prepend: |
    RUN export http_proxy=proxy.example.com
    RUN export HTTP_PROXY=proxy.example.com
    RUN export https_proxy=proxy.example.com
    RUN export HTTPS_PROXY=proxy.example.com
    • ansible-builder version 3
      **Note: prepend_base is optional. If a proxy server exists between your ansible-builder server and your offline pypi server, this settings might be needed. For further information regarding ansible-builder in an offline environment, refer to How to run ansible-builder in an offline environment..

    - ENV export HTTP_PROXY=proxy.example.com
    - ENV export https_proxy=proxy.example.com
