How to use Testcontainers Cloud Client behind a Proxy

You can use environment variables or Testcontainers Settings to set up your Testcontainers Cloud client to point to your proxy.

If you are running Testcontainers Cloud client in a network which uses an HTTP Proxy, you have three ways of setting up the client to use it.

1. Using environment variables

If you are launching the client from a shell which has any of the following environment

variables set up to point to your proxy, the client will automatically pick these up and

you're already good to go:

- `http_proxy` or `HTTP_PROXY`

- `https_proxy` or `HTTPS_PROXY`

 - `no_proxy` or `NO_PROXY`

2. Using the Testcontainers Cloud properties file

If you do not have the option of setting shell environment variables, you can also provide

the proxy settings by adding any or all of the following optional lines:

http_proxy=host:port

https_proxy=host:port

no_proxy=host1, host2

to the cloud.properties file at one of the following locations:

- MacOS and Linux

If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set:

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/testcontainers/cloud.properties

Otherwise:

$HOME/.config/testcontainers/cloud.properties

- Windows

If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set:

%xdg_config_home%\testcontainers\cloud.properties

Otherwise:

%userprofile%\.config\testcontainers\cloud.properties

3. Using the Testcontainers Settings

Alternatively, you can also provide the proxy settings in the `$HOME/.testcontainers.properties`  file. The keys are the same as for Testcontainers Cloud properties file above.
