[Intranet] Install cloudron in a corporate network environment

[girish]

@rmdes apparently, node.js does not respect those variables. See thread at https://groups.google.com/g/nodejs/c/2ZFLIAUfTFs?pli=1 . Maybe https://github.com/TooTallNate/proxy-agents/tree/main/packages/proxy-agent

[rmdes]

I'm going to investigate redsocks

in the meantime the only error remaining has to do with collectd, the service appears to be running fine
but the graphie containers freaks out as if graphite had never been initialized

@rmdes you docker stop graphite, rm -rf /home/yellowtent/platformdata/graphite/* and then docker start graphite.

[rmdes]

@girish just did, but it stays in the same state :

Hmm redsocks is difficult, I need more time to analyze which local IP I have to configure so that requets are temporarily routed to it

/my.cloudron.***.****.***/"

i'm wondering if there is a curl command I could do to register this token and then a file I could edit with the token

[nebulon]

The cloudron will rely more on the api server for example to contact the app store, so the Cloudron will need to be able to reach that anyways.

[rmdes]

@girish i'm able to get npm packages just fine by having my .npmrc configured to use my intranet proxy, I wonder if the systemd box service couldn't be used to also use npmrc ?

[girish]

@rmdes no, we have to write code to make box code work with a http proxy. node.js does not support it out of the box. npm has written special code to make this work.

[rmdes]

huh okay, but does this mean I'm the only one having deployed (more or less) cloudron in this context ?

[girish]

@rmdes yes, we am not aware of anyone deploying cloudron with just a http(s) proxy. It's not tested or supported. there's probably more failures down the line. Basically, anything non-http won't work (dns,email etc)

[rmdes]

Indeed I'm aware of this, my goal was more the access to app-store and smooth app upgrades and of course : Active Directory support to enable easy SSO in my context.

And because we have our self-signed certificate deployed across our entire Windows Desktop park, I was thinking that would have been enough to sign my "cloudron.intranet.domain" with our root certificate and then enable anyone in the IT dept to access a set of applications.
