Problem:
When running the local install of katello via forklift, e.g.
ansible-playbook -l localhost playbooks/katello.yml -e foreman_repositories_version=1.17 -e katello_repositories_version=3.6
on Oracle Linux 7.5, behind a Corp Internet proxy, the katello install playbook that runs the foreman install fails with a message saying that the http and https proxy environment variables need to be unset. However, because Corp proxy is needed in order to reach the Internet, without the environment variables set, all of the preceeding plays fail.
So I am in a catch-22. If I have the http/https proxy environment variables set, I can get to the foreman install section of the forklift install, but it fails and complains about the variables.
If I unset the variables, the preceding plays won’t work because they can’t reach the Internet.
Expected outcome:
The Katello forklift install works and Katello is installed and running.
Foreman and Proxy versions:
Foreman 1.17, Katello 3.6 via forklift
Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:
Latest
Other relevant data:
[e.g. logs from Foreman and/or the Proxy, modified templates, commands issued, etc]
Oracle Linux 7.5 x86_64, kernel-3.10.0-862.3.2.el7.x86_64
