Hi people,

I have this architecture : i’m using a chef server and a workstation on the same machine to bootstrap a windows mahine located in the same domain. I’m behind a proxy. when i configure the proxy knife bootstrap is not working anymore. I have to put the proxy though to use command like knife supermarket download cookbook.

I already used [http\_proxy] in knife.rb but it doesn’t work. So how can i configure it please?

thanks!

I assume you will need to fill up the `no-proxy` setting in knife.rb to avoid using the proxy for local machines.

Documentation is here: [https://docs.chef.io/config\_rb\_knife.html#proxy-settings](https://docs.chef.io/config_rb_knife.html#proxy-settings)

Hi @chernaj  
I have an alternate solution for you. It might help you.

You need internet connectivity in your node just for one activity. i.e. Download chef-client on that node.  
You can bypass this phase by manually downloading chef-client and keeping it any accessible location (accessible from node). I kept it in Nexus you can keep it in shared drive or locally on the node itself.  
After that, run following bootstrap command:

> knife bootstrap windows winrm "IP ADDRESS" -x "DOMAIN/USERNAME" -P "PASSWORD" --bootstrap-no-proxy "[DOMAIN.ORG](http://DOMAIN.ORG)" --msi-url "SHARED DRIVE LOCATION"

Thanks! that’s a good idea indeed. i have a question though not about chef but about nexus,  
i’m trying to mirror a private nuget repo using nexus, but i can’t change the url to make it accessible from outside (My knowledge of nexus is very short) Can you describe the process?  
I appreciate the help!

We are on the same boat @chernaj. 😀  
Even I have very limited knowledge in Nexus. [http://stackoverflow.com/](http://stackoverflow.com/) might extend you some help.

@Tensibai  
i tried your solution by setting the no\_proxy and http\_proxy / https\_proxy. it doesn’t work tough.

no\_proxy 'localhost, \*.domain.local.com’  
http\_proxy '[http://193.56.47.8:8080](http://193.56.47.8:8080)’  
https\_proxy ‘[https://193.56.47.8:8080](https://193.56.47.8:8080)’

here is the error i get : …ERROR: No response received from remote node after 2.67 minutes, giving up.  
ERROR: Exception: execution expired  
ERROR: HTTPClient::ConnectTimeoutError: execution expired

Thanks a lot for the help

IIRC the no\_proxy list doesn’t use wildcards (no parsing done), remove the star `*` and all should be ok.

I.e: `no_proxy 'localhost, .domain.local.com'`

Okay i removed the \* i still have this problem, it seems to come from winrm configuration maybe :

You can always check winrm connectivity. Run following command from your workstation

Test-WSMan "IP OF THE NODE"

Any chance we can see it ? Guessing is far from the better option to help.

Obviously the no\_proxy can’t match 10.200.24.160 as a domain name… Still from memory, IP address have to be fully set in the no\_proxy variable, you can **try** adding 10.200. but I’m really unsure this would work.

Best idea is to configure your Dns system properly to then bootstrap with a fqdn like `mymachine.domain.local.com` which would trigger the no\_proxy entry `.domain.local.com`.

yes thanks! i configured the dns and now it works. in fact knife doesn’t match the fqdn with the Ip adress!

Thanks a lot again!

</div>

I don’t know any system where the no\_proxy configuration does something fancy as a DNS PTR query to get the name from an IP address.  
That’s always just a string match between the target and the entries configured.

> /opt/chefdk/embedded/lib/ruby/2.1.0/net/http/response.rb:119:in error!': 503 "Service Unavailable" (Net::HTTPFatalError)

Some HTTPS service is failing with this 503. You should check your Chef Server's logs (`chef-server-ctl tail` is a good place to start) for more information about this. You will either see that the request does show up in Chef Server's nginx log, in which case the erchef service may not be running or otherwise having issues, or else the request isn't showing up, in which case it could be an issue with your proxy server.
