Containerized SUSE Manager Proxy Setup

In the Web UI, navigate to Systems  Proxy Configuration and fill the required data:

In the Proxy FQDN field type fully qualified domain name for the proxy.

In the Parent FQDN field type fully qualified domain name for the SUSE Manager Server or another SUSE Manager Proxy.

In the Proxy SSH port field type SSH port on which SSH service is listening on SUSE Manager Proxy. Recommended is to keep default 8022.

In the Max Squid cache size [MB] field type maximal allowed size for Squid cache. Recommended is to use at most 60% of available storage for the containers.

In the SSL certificate selection list choose if new server certificate should be generated for SUSE Manager Proxy or an existing one should be used. You can consider generated certificates as SUSE Manager builtin (self signed) certificates.

Click Generate to register a new proxy FQDN in the SUSE Manager Server and generate a configuration archive (config.tar.gz) containing details for the container host.

After a few moments you are presented with file to download. Save this file locally.

SSH into your container host.

Execute the following command replacing the Server and Proxy FQDN:

mgrctl exec -ti 'spacecmd proxy_container_config_generate_cert -- dev-pxy.example.com dev-srv.example.com 2048 email@example.com -o /tmp/config.tar.gz'

Copy the generated configuration from the server container:

mgrctl cp server:/tmp/config.tar.gz .

SSH into your Server container host.

Execute the following command replacing the Server and Proxy FQDN:

for f in ca.crt proxy.crt proxy.key; do
  mgrctl cp $f server:/tmp/$f
done
mgrctl exec -ti 'spacecmd proxy_container_config -- -p 8022 pxy.example.com srv.example.com 2048 email@example.com /tmp/ca.crt /tmp/proxy.crt /tmp/proxy.key -o /tmp/config.tar.gz'

Copy the generated configuration from the server container:

mgrctl cp server:/tmp/config.tar.gz .
