Unable to use `single` role behind a proxy server

[r3boot]

I am trying to use the single role to deploy a single instance of VictoriaMetrics. In order to do this, I need to tunnel all outgoing http requests via a proxy server. Unfortunately, the single role explicitly disables proxies, as can be seen on the following lines:

ansible-playbooks/roles/single/tasks/install.yml

Line 59 in 78cce5d

environment:

ansible-playbooks/roles/single/tasks/install.yml

Line 87 in 78cce5d

environment:

Is this intentional behaviour? If so, how can I apply this role behind a proxy?

[r3boot]

As a followup, the same applies to the cluster roles.

Hello @r3boot, the idea there is to download binaries to control host and then distribute binaries to target hosts. Do I understand it right that in your case control host is also required to use a proxy?

hello @zekker6 ,
We are experiencing the same issue here. To access the binaries from where we run the collection, we need to use a proxy. Currently, we are manually removing the problematic lines to allow the collection to download through our proxy.

@zekker6 would it be possible to create a variable called victoriametrics_http_proxy and victoriametrics_https_proxy that default to an empty string, so this can be overidden by the user without changing the existing behavior
