Problems with installing Foreman behind company proxy

Support
1

Problem:
I’m facing the problem by running the foreman installer on my ubuntu 20.04 server. Unfortunately I have to use our company http proxy to reach deb.foreman.org . This works fine when I test it with wget but the foreman installer is unsetting the system variable for my http proxy. Which I set in /etc/environments and in apt/…/proxy.conf

Expected outcome:
Is there chance to tell the installer to use the system proxy or to not unset the proxy.

Foreman and Proxy versions:
Foreman 30 (latest release)

Distribution and version:
Ubuntu 20.04 (focal)

Thanks for your support
Marvin

You need to configure Foreman to use a proxy. Don’t think it uses any system proxy:

Oh man. Solved the problem on my own.
It was quit a dump issue. :see_no_evil:

Performed a apt --fix-broken install as it was recommended by output. Then re run installer and it worked…
