Document how to use buildkite-agent behind a proxy about docs HOT 5 CLOSED

Yup, still relevant! The http proxy stuff should probably be under “Running the agent behind a proxy” and then the systemd extension stuff perhaps under a systemd specific section in config? Systemd spans a few distros now.

from docs.

I have tried the suggestion above and I would like to add:

• There's a typo in the path above, the correct directory is in /etc/systemd (the d was missing), so that's: "/etc/systemd/system/buildkite-agent.service.d"
• The file proxy.conf must contain settings in systemd-unit format
• Example proxy.conf:

[Service]
# Proxy Env Vars
Environment=http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver:8080/
Environment=https_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver:8080/
Environment=no_proxy=localhost,.example.com

Thanks for the additions @nick040! 🙌🏻

@lox are HTTP proxy settings still relevant to the v3 agent? If so, would this addition fit in with the Agent Configuration doc?

I did some more thinking about where those sections could sit in the docs - what do you think about having "running the agent behind a proxy" in Securing your Buildkite Agent, and "running multiple agents with systemd" in the top level How to Install Buildkite Agent?
