Puppet How do i setup puppet module behind a proxy

Question

I want to setup puppet module behind my proxy server. Can somebody help me in setting up the same?

Answer 1

To use the puppet module command behind a proxy, set the proxy's IP address and port by running the following two commands:

export http_proxy=http://<PROXY IP>:<PROXY PORT> 
export https_proxy=http://<PROXY IP>:<PROXY PORT>

For instance, for an proxy at 192.168.0.10 on port 8080, run:

export http_proxy=http://192.168.0.10:8080 
export https_proxy=http://192.168.0.10:8080

Alternatively, you can set these two proxy settings in the puppet.conf file, by setting http_proxy_host and http_proxy_port in the user section of puppet.conf.
