Run a package manager and other tools in a proxy server (original) (raw)

Use the following procedures to run a package manager and other tools in a proxy server.

To run a tool, such as a package manager, in a proxy server
  1. Add the tool to the allow list in your proxy server by adding statements to your squid.conf file.
  2. Add a line to your buildspec file that points to the private endpoint of your proxy server.

The following examples demonstrate how to do this for apt-get,curl, and maven. If you use a different tool, the same principles apply. Add it to an allow list in the squid.conf file and add a command to your buildspec file to make CodeBuild aware of your proxy server's endpoint.

To run apt-get in a proxy server
  1. Add the following statements to your squid.conf file to add apt-get to an allow list in your proxy server. The first three lines allow apt-get to run in the build environment.
acl allowed_sites dstdomain ppa.launchpad.net # Required for apt-get to run in the build environment  
acl apt_get dstdom_regex .*\.launchpad.net # Required for CodeBuild to run apt-get in the build environment  
acl apt_get dstdom_regex .*\.ubuntu.com    # Required for CodeBuild to run apt-get in the build environment  
http_access allow localnet allowed_sites  
http_access allow localnet apt_get
  1. Add the following statement in your buildspec file so thatapt-get commands look for the proxy configuration in/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00proxy.
echo 'Acquire::http::Proxy "http://<private-ip-of-proxy-server>:3128"; Acquire::https::Proxy "http://<private-ip-of-proxy-server>:3128"; Acquire::ftp::Proxy "http://<private-ip-of-proxy-server>:3128";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00proxy
To run curl in a proxy server
  1. Add the following to your squid.conf file to addcurl to an allow list in your build environment.
acl allowed_sites dstdomain ppa.launchpad.net # Required to run apt-get in the build environment  
acl allowed_sites dstdomain google.com # Required for access to a webiste. This example uses www.google.com.  
http_access allow localnet allowed_sites  
http_access allow localnet apt_get
  1. Add the following statement in your buildspec file so curl uses the private proxy server to access the website you added to thesquid.conf. In this example, the website isgoogle.com.
curl -x <private-ip-of-proxy-server>:3128 https://www.google.com
To run maven in a proxy server
  1. Add the following to your squid.conf file to addmaven to an allow list in your build environment.
acl allowed_sites dstdomain ppa.launchpad.net # Required to run apt-get in the build environment  
acl maven dstdom_regex .*\.maven.org # Allows access to the maven repository in the build environment  
http_access allow localnet allowed_sites  
http_access allow localnet maven
  1. Add the following statement to your buildspec file.
maven clean install -DproxySet=true -DproxyHost=<private-ip-of-proxy-server> -DproxyPort=3128
