Public bug reported:
In the Canonical DC one needs to use a proxy to download images from
outside, such as images.linuxcontainers.org. This currently causes some
trouble (like in
https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac
/autopkgtest-xenial/xenial/amd64/a/autopkgtest/20160314_110014@/log.gz).
AFAIUI, lxd-images is being deprecated, in favor of adding and launching
from remotes. The lxd-images command used the proxy information from the
current shell, but with "lxc launch images:..." it is the running lxd
daemon which does the download, and thus the proxy info on the current
shell is meaningless. But the lxd daemon process does not have any proxy
environment set.
So I'm looking for a sensible way to configure a default proxy for image
downloads. In my local test I just added
"EnvironmentFile=/etc/environment" to /lib/systemd/system/lxd.service's
[Service], as that's the most likely place where this is set by default
(and that's also where ubuntu-system-service writes it when you
configure a system-wide proxy in the control center). Would that be
acceptable to add by default?
/etc/environment is normally read by pam_env and thus is mostly meant
for user sessions, cron jobs etc.¸ but there's some precedent for
sourcing /etc/environment in init.d scripts and upstart jobs.
Alternatively, is there some way that this can be configured in a
different file, so that it applies to lxd as soon as it gets apt-get
install'ed (via a test dependency)?
