I want to utilize proxy to route node network traffic through it. |
Solution
Edit the vprotect-node.service env file which is located in
/libopt/systemd/systemvprotect/vprotect-node.serviceenv
Originally this file should look like the one below
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
[Unit]
Description = vProtect Node
Wants = vdo.service nfs.service nfslock.service rpcbind.service nfs-server.service nfs-lock.service nfs-idmap.service vprotect-vmware.service
After = syslog.target network.target vprotect-server.service vdo.service
[Service]
User = vprotect
ExecStartPre = /usr/bin/vprotect configureNbd
ExecStart = /usr/bin/vprotect start
ExecStop = /usr/bin/vprotect stop
Type = forking
Restart = on-failure
[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target
|
Add the following lines to the [Service] section.
| Code Block |
|---|
Environment="http_proxy=# =================================================================== # This is environment variables file used by the vprotect-node # # Called From: vprotect-node.service # =================================================================== # Variable for http proxy #http_proxy="" # Variable for https proxy #https_proxy="" # Variable for no proxy #no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1" |
Uncomment the following lines and enter the correct proxy address
| Code Block |
|---|
http_proxy="proxy.address:8080" Environment="https_proxy="proxy.adress:8080" Environment="no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1" |
| Note |
|---|
Make sure to change proxy.address to the address of Your proxy, it can be either IP address or FQDN. Also set the correct port, in the example above it is 8080 |
The vprotect-node.service env file after modification should look like this
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
[Unit] Description = vProtect Node Wants = vdo.service nfs.service nfslock.service rpcbind.service nfs-server.service nfs-lock.service nfs-idmap.service vprotect-vmware.service After = syslog.target network.target vprotect-server.service vdo.service [Service] User = vprotect Environment="http_proxy=proxy.address:8080" Environment="https_proxy=proxy.adress:8080" Environment="no_proxy=# =================================================================== # This is environment variables file used by the vprotect-node # # Called From: vprotect-node.service # =================================================================== # Variable for http proxy http_proxy="proxy.address:8080" # Variable for https proxy https_proxy="proxy.address:8080" # Variable for no proxy no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1" ExecStartPre = /usr/bin/vprotect configureNbd ExecStart = /usr/bin/vprotect start ExecStop = /usr/bin/vprotect stop Type = forking Restart = on-failure [Install] WantedBy = multi-user.target |
After modifying the file You need to reload a systemd file and restart the vprotect node and server to apply the changes
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl daemon-reload [root@localhost ~]# systemctl restart vprotect-node vprotect-server |
