NirvaShare Installation in a Proxy Environment

NirvaShare is a secure file sharing and access management software which has streamlined the process of file sharing for cloud object storage and it has the capability to integrate with multiple identity providers for SSO. Through this document, let us get to know the configuration required to install NirvaShare where outbound requests pass through a proxy server for Ubuntu OS.

Prerequisites

Before installing NirvaShare, ensure that you have the IP/domain and the port number of the proxy server. In the below configurations, we used proxy IP as 13.53.94.85 and port 8888. Please make sure to replace it with your proxy IP and port during installation.

For OS Utilities

ssh to the linux terminal where NirvaShare has to be installed.
Make sure to use as sudo root user.
Edit the file /etc/environment and add the following entries at the bottom without removing existing data. Make sure to replace IP and port with your system credentials.
Save the file and Exit.

export HTTP_PROXY=http://13.53.94.85:8888
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://13.53.94.85:8888
export http_proxy=http://13.53.94.85:8888
export https_proxy=http://13.53.94.85:8888

For Docker

1. Create a folder using the below command at the said location.

sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d

2. Edit the file /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/proxy.conf and add the following entries.
Make sure to replace the IP and port with your system settings.
