In the previous post , I've described how to build an image when you're behind a proxy. Now, if your container needs access to the internet for e.g. downloading python dependencies, you'll need to give it explicitly. The way to do it is via -e parameter (environment) of docker run . You can…

The other day I had to install Docker at work, aka behind a corporate proxy (on Windows 8). While the docker installer is stand-alone and all is good, dealing with the VM is a different matter... The problem popped up when I tried to create a Django image and pip install failed miserably. To get…

TL;DR: There's no easy way to create a proxy :) I've tried for a while to build a way to request something through a proxy, for testing an emulated android app. The solution came from Octavian who kindly provided me a snippet to run once per app lifetime. It tackles the problem from two fronts…

I have the following situation: I'm behind a corporate proxy and I need to run a test accessing an external website. To do this, I've picked up chrome/chromium as driver of choice. My current solution implies an authentication via plugin. The plugin The chrome plugin is essentially 2 files: a…

TL;DR : create a global gradle.properties file (in <HOME>/.gradle or GRADLE_USER_HOME if defined). Place there the system specific configuration. The other day I had the unpleasant surprise that Android Studio replicated my proxy settings into gradle.properties and got committed to Git…

TL;DR : Most important thing is to find out if your proxy mangles/removes headers. If yes, then you need to contact your IT department. I've got the following error: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2 : net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting…

The recent updates in Android Studio eliminate the possibility of passing JVM arguments to gradle. That's quite unfortunate because I quite liked my solution and now I was getting a (not) nice Connection refused message... So I had to find a different solution. Environment Variable As always…

Apparently, productivity increases when you listen to (the right type of) music. So, my medicine these days is Spotify. To make your proxy woes go away, try to use https://play.spotify.com/?http=1 . If that doesn't work, you're out of luck.

Update : This is obsolete as Android Studio is going to eliminate JVM arguments for gradle. See this post for a more future-proof approach . The other day I did an exercise to install Android Studio ("AS" henceforth) (0.8.4 at the moment of writing) and create a project with gradle in an…
