Installing behind a proxy

To install NixOS behind a proxy, do the following before running nixos-install.

  1. Update proxy configuration in /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix to keep the internet accessible after reboot.

    networking.proxy.default = "http://user:password@proxy:port/";
networking.proxy.noProxy = "127.0.0.1,localhost,internal.domain";

  2. Setup the proxy environment variables in the shell where you are running nixos-install.

    # proxy_url="http://user:password@proxy:port/"
# export http_proxy="$proxy_url"
# export HTTP_PROXY="$proxy_url"
# export https_proxy="$proxy_url"
# export HTTPS_PROXY="$proxy_url"

Note

If you are switching networks with different proxy configurations, use the nesting.clone option in configuration.nix to switch proxies at runtime. Refer to :ref:`ch-options` for more information.
