Missing support for no_proxy setting

[bukovjanmic]

Currently, there is no support for no-proxy setting in Grafana CR.

This creates a problem for our setup, as:

• grafana needs a proxy to download plugin during startup, or dashboards from grafana.com
• grafana needs to talk to internal SSO server (OIDC protocol) to authneticate users

The internal SSO server is not reachable via proxy.

Currently, we use a workaround like this:

  deployment:
    env:
      - name: NO_PROXY
        value: '.cluster.local,.svc,.example.com,localhost'
    httpProxy:
      enabled: true
      url: 'http://http-proxy.example.com:8080'
      secureUrl: 'http://http-proxy.example.com:8080'

But we think this is neither documented, nor clean.

A good solution would be to be able to declare noProxy setting along httpProxy definition.

Even greater solution would be if the operator could automatically use a Proxy setting - including no proxy - defined on Opemshift cluster (available in apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1, kind: Proxy, metadata.name: name: cluster), but I guess that would be too specific for Openshift deployment

Thanks,

Hi @bukovjanmic I think you make a valid point.

Just as you say doing some config.openshift.io/v1 would be a bit to openshift specific but since we support specifying httpProxy specifically I don't see why we don't support NO_PROXY as well.

I guess from a point of view we should have spiked this feature and pointed on pure environment variables but there was probably a good reason for implementing it.

Would you be willing to add the NO_PROXY feature?
