# A Note on Proxies

Proxy configurations are known to vary in some organizations and makes building a base blueprint a little more difficult. In order to fully configure proxies a few environment variables must be set in the /etc/environment file (This can be done automatically in a default user-data script for cloud-init as well in edit cloud).

```
```
http_proxy="http://myproxyaddress:8080"  
https_proxy="http://myproxyaddress:8080"  
ftp_proxy="http://myproxyaddress:8080"  
no_proxy=127.0.0.1,localhost,applianceUrl  
https_no_proxy=127.0.0.1,localhost,applianceUrl
```
```

IMPORTANT

It is very important to properly set the no\_proxy list (applianceUrl) should be replaced with the actual appliance url. In future releases, morpheus plans to automatically take care of this.

NOTE

If using cloud-init agent install mode these settings need to be set in the custom Cloud-Init User data section of “Edit Cloud” or “Edit Virtual Image”

IMPORTANT

If using this virtual machine as a docker host, proxy settings must also be configured in the docker config. See Docker guides for instructions on how to properly set this. If necessary this can be wrapped in a task automation workflow for your own use.
