I am trying to build logstash 5.3.2 from source. Below are the steps I followed. But the "rake bootstrap" command fails with the "Errno::EHOSTUNREACH: No route to host - connect(2)" This is been done on a empty docker container hosted on a openstack vm.

An update to the above posting. I followed the steps described in the [https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/6044](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/6044) And did modify a file ./logstash/rakelib/fetch.rake to have the proxy variables Was able to proceed further. 1.

You can create a settings.xml in the users home dir. Try this: mkdir ~/.m2 vi ~/.m2/settings.xml paste the following in the file ``` example-proxy true http 1.2.3.4 8080 ``` ---

Ok, for logstash-plugin I use the following setting as well to get things working. `export JRUBY_OPTS="$JRUBY_OPTS -J-XX:+TieredCompilation -J-XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1 -J-noverify -X-C -Xcompile.invokedynamic=false -J-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy-server.com -J-Dhttp.proxyPort=443"` I have edit the /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin file for that so you have to look which file you need to adjust. (mabey just a export will do, I dont know.) ---

No much luck, pjanzen. still fails with the similar error. ``` [root@pk-logstash logstash]# export JRUBY_OPTS="$JRUBY_OPTS -J-XX:+TieredCompilation -J-XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1 -J-noverify -X-C -Xcompile.invokedynamic=false -J-Dhttp.proxyHost=http://www-proxy.us.xyz.com -J-Dhttp.proxyPort=80" [root@pk-logstash logstash]# [root@pk-logstash logstash]# [root@pk-logstash logstash]# [root@pk-logstash logstash]# rake bootstrap Invoking bundler install...

No the file is not attached, i merly stated this as how I once fixed the problem. So exporting the http\_proxy and https\_proxy and setting.xml and export JRUBY\_OPTS does not work? You are sure the proxy is allowed access to the outside world? ... looking closer at the url rake is using, you should do export https\_proxy= I think that will work.. ---

You can also try and set the proxy in ~/.gemrc more on the topic here > ---

Yes, none of the settings "http\_proxy and https\_proxy and setting.xml and export JRUBY\_OPTS" seem to work. 😊 I do understand, yes, my proxy allows me the access the external world. ``` > i[root@pk-logstash logstash]# curl www.google.co.in ``` \Google(function(){window.google={kEI:'jTscWc72E8qGjwTT6rTYCg',kEXPI:'201761,1352552,3700269,3700347,3700410,3700425,4029815,4031109,4032677,4036527,4039268,4043492,4045841,4048347,4065786,4072126,4072364,4072773,4076096,4076999,4078430,4079444,4081038,4081165,4082164,4084977,4090550,4090554,4092628,4094039,4094251,4094544,4095910,4096323,4097153,4097922,4097929,4097951,4098096,4098721,4098728,4098752,4100169,4100174,4100689,4100717,4101429,4101430,4101437,4101750,4102239,4102974,4103254,4103475,4103845,4104204,4104620,4105085,4105178,4105264,4105319,4105323,4105553,4105732,4106949,4107395,4107417,4107555,4107628,4108495,4108538,4108540,4109316,4109438,4109490,4109498,4109524,4109631,4110233,4110361,4110656,4111030,4111423,4111609,4111792,4112041,4112152,8503585,8508229,8508931,8509037,8509091,8509373,8510344,10200083,10201956,10202317,16200026,19002115,19002174,19002281,19002294,19002296,19002297,41027342',authuser:0,kscs:'c9c918f0\_24'};google.kHL='en-IN';})();(function(){google.lc=[];google.li=0;google.getEI=function(a){for(var b;a&&(!a.getAttribute||!(b=a.getAttribute("eid")));)a=a.parentNode;return b||google.kEI};google.getLEI=function(a){for(var b=null;a&&(!a.getAttribute||!(b=a.getAttribute("leid")));)a=a.parentNode;return b};google.https=function(){return"https:"==window.location.protocol};google.ml=function(){return null}; ---

No pjazen, still no luck. Created that .gemrc file as suggested. quite desperate to get this thing going ☹ . And thanks for support and the suggestions. Is there a way, to figure out where in bundler the call is made in the code? I had a change done in ./logstash/rakelib/fetch.rake to include the proxy settings and that seemed to work to fetch the jruby, which was failing earlier. ---

I am at a lose as well, my ruby knowledge is lacking to say the least. A round on google tells me there is a rake-proxy package, maybe that will help? I am out of options... ---
