How to configure proxy for PMM Server?

Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) PMM 3.x
1

We have a dockerized PMM3 installation in a partly locked infra: internet can be reached through proxy.

There’s a note about this here: Network and firewall requirements - Percona Monitoring and Management

configure appropriate proxy settings if PMM Server needs to access external services through a proxy

My questions:

  • how to configure that?
  • is proxy configuration is needed also for Watchtower? (how?)

Actual start command:

docker run --detach --restart always \
  --publish 443:8443 \
  --env PMM_PUBLIC_ADDRESS="${_pmm_public_address}" \
  --env PMM_WATCHTOWER_HOST=http://${_watchtower_container}:8080 \
  --env PMM_WATCHTOWER_TOKEN="${_watchtower_token}" \
  --env GF_SMTP_ENABLED=1 \
  --env GF_SMTP_HOST="${_pmm_gf_smtp_host}" \
  --env GF_SMTP_FROM_NAME="${_pmm_gf_smtp_from_name}" \
  --env GF_SMTP_FROM_ADDRESS="${_pmm_gf_smtp_from_address}" \
  --env GF_SMTP_SKIP_VERIFY=true \
  --volume ${_pmm_data_dir}:/srv \
  --volume ${_pmm_ldap_config}:/etc/grafana/ldap.toml \
  --network=${_pmm_network} \
  --name ${_pmm_server_container} \
  ${_pmm_container_image}

Hello @bentse,
The environment variables HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY are quite standard in linux world. Try setting those when you launch the container.
