OpenShift import-image fails when behind corporate proxy

12/28/2018

When i run

oc import-image centos:7 --confirm true

I am getting

The import completed with errors.

error: tag 7 failed: Internal error occurred: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/: proxyconnect tcp: EOF

For the life of me, i cannot find the source of proxyconnect tcp: EOF. Its not found anywhere in the OpenShift/Kubernetes source. Google knows next to nothing about that.

I have also verified that i can docker pull centos from each node (including master and infra nodes). Its only when openshift tries to pull that image.

Any ideas?

Turns out it was a mis-configuration in our openshift_https_proxy ansible var. Specifically we had:

openshift_https_proxy=https://proxy.mycompany.com:8443

And we should have had

openshift_https_proxy=http://proxy.mycompany.com:8443

To fix this, we had to edit /etc/origin/master/master.env on the masters and /etc/sysconfig/docker on all nodes, then restart per the Working with HTTP Proxies documentation.
