Appendix B. Configuring Web Proxy

To check for available package updates, the Veeam Updater service running on the Nutanix AHV backup appliance connects to Veeam repositories over the internet. If the Nutanix AHV backup appliance is not connected to the internet, you can instruct the Veeam Updater service to use a web proxy that will provide access to the required resources.

To configure connection to the web proxy, do the following:

1. Enable SSH access on the Nutanix AHV backup appliance.
2. Connect to the Nutanix AHV backup appliance using SSH.
3. Create the 01-proxy-config file in the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ folder.
4. Add the following strings to the file and save it:

• If the web proxy does not require authentication:

• Acquire::http::Proxy "http://<server_address>:<port1>/";
• Acquire::https::Proxy "http://<server_address>:<port2>/";

where <server_address> is the IP address or FQDN of the web proxy, <port1> is the port used for HTTP connections, and <port2> is the port used for HTTPS connections.

• If the web proxy requires authentication:

• Acquire::http::Proxy "http://<username>:<password>@<server_address>:<port1>/";
• Acquire::https::Proxy "http://<username>:<password>@<server_address>:<port2>/";

where <username> and <password> are credentials of the account configured on the web proxy to access the internet,  <server_address> is the IP address or FQDN of the web proxy, <port1> is the port used for HTTP connections, and <port2> is the port used for HTTPS connections.
