Does kibana understand package registry via proxy?

[Tuckson (Eric)]

Hi,

Appearantly since 7.14 (fleet = GA) I am required to have internet access for my selfmanaged kibana's to reach some packet registry (or host one myself).

However, I set a proxy in the environment and am still not able to reach it. What is going wrong?
The error:

However from the commandline as the kibana user:

[kibana@aapps1121 ~]$ curl "https://epr.elastic.co/search?package=system&internal=true&experimental=true&kibana.version=7.14.0"
[
  {
    "name": "system",
    "title": "System",
    "version": "1.1.2",
    "release": "ga",

      }

      }
    ]
  }

I am running as kibana user:

[kibana@aapps1121 ~]$ ps -ef|grep kibana
kibana    62605      1  0 16:13 ?        00:00:00 /usr/share/kibana/bin/../node/bin/node /usr/share/kibana/bin/../src/cli/dist --logging.dest="/var/log/kibana/kibana.log" --pid.file="/run/kibana/kibana.pid"

Solved by adding
xpack.fleet.registryProxyUrl: "http://proxy-url:8080" to kibana.yml

I find it bad practice that kibana does not make use of regular environment variables.
