Probably not, it has to be set manually, though I've never tried that.

Try this one:
Export http_proxy=http://proxy:port/;
If debootstrap uses it, then it should work.

Also don't forget to apply apt settings in container.

Hi,

I am using lxc-create on the latest version of Linux Mint. Following is the
error message

 sudo lxc-create -n ubuntu01 -t ubuntu
Checking cache download in /var/cache/lxc/precise/rootfs-amd64 ...
Installing packages in template: ssh,vim,language-pack-en
Downloading ubuntu precise minimal ...
I: Retrieving Release
E: Failed getting release file
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/Release
lxc_container: container creation template for ubuntu01 failed
lxc_container: Error creating container ubuntu01


I am working behind a proxy server. All my proxy settings are fine. I have
aslo added the proxy details in `/etc/apt/apt.conf` using
`Acquire::http:Proxy=proxy and port;` (+https and ftp). But, it did not
work.

I tried changing mirror in `/etc/default/lxc` file as well. Changing the
MIRROR field to `http://host-ip:3142/...`. But no success.

Where does lxc-create read the proxy settings from? Where should I do the
configuration? Am I missing something here? Port number 22 is blocked by my
proxy server. Does not affect?

Thanks,
Sriram

Hi,

There was no problem with apt but, I had issue using debootstrap. Had to
set up the proxy settings in /etc/wgetrc. All fine now.

Thanks for the help. :)
