proxy setting for downloading images is missing

[marosg42]

It would be nice to have a parameter which allows to specify proxy for download. Or if multipass honored http(s)_proxy environment variables

[Saviq]

Note the daemon (multipassd) is a system service, so it should respect whatever is configured for that, and not what's set in your client's (multipass) environment?

[albaguirre]

@Saviq, yeah correct.

I think the cleanest way is to introduce a "snap set multipass proxy.{http,https}=...", mirroring how you configure the proxy for snapd.

[albaguirre]

@marosg42,

with multipass revision 118 available in the edge channel, you can now do the following to configure the proxy:

snap set multipass proxy.http=http://myproxy:7777
snap restart multipass

Is there a way to set proxy on Mac ?

[Saviq]

@manuzhang if we're not respecting the system-wide proxy selection on macOS, please file a new issue.

We'll be adding an option (#756) to set the proxies for Multipass itself.

worked with a proxy in Ubuntu 18.04

airren@NUC11:/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants$ ls -al |grep multipassd
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   53 9月   4 00:48 snap.multipass.multipassd.service -> /etc/systemd/system/snap.multipass.multipassd.service

[Saviq]

$ sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/snap.multipass.multipassd.service

This will get overwritten on snap refresh, you should use sudo systemctl edit ... instead.

Thanks for your info.
