How to configure web proxy for content syncing

Hello,

I'm looking for the current "best" way to configure an http proxy for Katello to use to pull down content from upstream. Are the --katello-proxy-* options to foreman-installer it? I only want Katello to use the proxy when trying to pull content, not for any other "internal" stuff.

Regards,

j

What's "internal" mean? The proxy settings set by the installer are
used by Katello and pulp for outbound access, we're not setting any
system settings for proxies. But it'll be used for all content though
even things on the local network, that's a known problem if your proxy
doesn't have access to them. Some users setup a squid proxy until we
let you set a proxy per-repo .

What I mean is that I want Katello to use the web proxy when syncing content but I don't want that web proxy used when different components are talking to each other (such as the UI hitting Foreman APIs).

The UI hitting API's happens in your browser. The installer's proxy
settings are just for Katello's communication with the outside world.
