building behind a proxy

[schnapper79]

Hello,

 

I have a problem building the image behind a proxy (company proxy). Is there any way to get my proxy configuration into the chroot - environment?

In theory:

 

here

https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/second/deboostrap.sh#L87

 

add:

http_proxy=http://proxy.host:port/

before deboostrap

http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/38993/global-cache-config-of-debootstrap

 

Please report if it works, than we can add this as option.

it happens quite often that the deboostrap-process jumps almost immediatly from 0% to 100%. in this case i get an error when stuff should be compiled in chroot-environment. (eg /bin/sh: 1: arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc: not found)

 

this also happens on machines without proxy. Any idea? (reboot doesn't help at all, deleting of /source and /output is no help either)

Hello Igor,

 

adding
 

http_proxy=http://proxy.host:port/

before deboostrap

 

 

worked like a charm, but i also had to copy a file (/etc/apt/apt.conf) into my rootfs to make the apt-get within the chroot-environment work. It contains the proxy-settings for apt-get.

 

i realized what happens at the beginning of the process (see my last post). Its not the debootstrap, its the installation of host dependencies which fails without further notice. I couldn't install the gpg-key for aptly. after installing aptly manually everything worked fine with the proxy.

 

Additionally i ran into problems with the size of the sdcard-image. I had to set the size to 8000MB as i got "out of space"-messages when installing the pakets into the sdcard image. (even 6000MB were not enough for trusty with desktop).
