Building behind a proxy
+++++++++++++++++++++++
The build script supports augmenting the Dockerfiles under build via so called
`header` and `footer` files. Statements in the `header` file are included at
the top of the `base` image, while those in `footer` are included at the bottom
of every Dockerfile in the build.
A common use case for this is to insert http_proxy settings into the images to
fetch packages during build, and then unset them at the end to avoid having
them carry through to the environment of the final images. Note however, it's
not possible to drop the info completely using this method; it will still be
visible in the layers of the image.
To use this feature, create a file called ``.header``, with the following
content for example:
::
ENV http_proxy=https://evil.corp.proxy:80
ENV https_proxy=https://evil.corp.proxy:80
Then create another file called ``.footer``, with the following content:
::
ENV http_proxy=""
ENV https_proxy=""
Finally, pass them to the build script using the ``-i`` and ``-I`` flags:
::
tools/build.py -i .header -I .footer
