Running OpenRemote behind a proxy

Agents, Protocols and APIs
1

After installing OpenRemote using Docker as described in the Quickstart section of the readme, I followed the Tutorial: Open Weather API using HTTP Agent. Unfortunately, calling the URL results in a connection timeout. From the log:

HTTP Client [https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5]: Exception thrown whilst doing polling request [Connect to api.openweathermap.org:443 [api.openweathermap.org/188.166.16.132, api.openweathermap.org/37.139.1.159, api.openweathermap.org/37.139.20.5, api.openweathermap.org/82.196.7.246] failed: Connect timed out]: https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather

I suspect our proxy to not be recognized by OpenRemote. However, I correctly configured it for Docker following the official guide; Only after this step, the containers could be pulled from the hub. I have logged into the manager and proxy containers via a shell to run curl https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather, which works.

Do you have any other ideas? Is there a dedicated option to configure the proxy to use?

The /etc/environment file I created with the proxy environmental variables http_proxy, https_proxy, ftp_proxy and no_proxy seems to have been picked up by the container.

Hi @daniel did you get to the bottom of your issue? Not had any experience with running behind proxies but will try and help where we can.

Hello @Rich, yes, the environment file has not been picked up before. Now, it works. Thanks for asking!
