Trying to use vcsrepo module from puppet to install a GIT repository for devstack. Using https://github.com/... But am behind a firewall. There is a proxy server available for http, https, and FTP access to the Internet.
Is there a way to include the proxy, when using this module? I didn't find anything in the vcsrepo that seems to work. Willing to tweak (hack) the module, if needed.
james :
You could look in the module vcsrepo/lib/puppet/provider/vcsrepo/git.rb\n\nnear the bottom of the file at:\n\ndef git_with_identity(*args)\n\n\nadd the following just under the above line:\n\nif @resource.value(:http_proxy)\n ENV['http_proxy'] = @resource.value(:http_proxy)\n ENV['https_proxy'] = @resource.value(:http_proxy)\nend\n\n\nNext edit vcsrepo/lib/puppet/type/vcsrepo.rb - before the last end add: \n\n newparam :http_proxy do\n desc \"http proxy to use to communicate with the outside world\"\nend\n\n\nNow in your puppet manifest you can add http_proxy var:\n\nvcsrepo { '/var/www/blash':\n ensure => present,\n provider => git,\n http_proxy => 'http://prxy.local:8080',\n require => Class['git-core'],\n source => 'http://github.com/blah/blah.git';\n }\n",
