Configure network proxies

If your edge device network is configured to use the proxy servers to access the internet, especially accessing the container registries, you need to configure the proxy servers on your device.

Configuring the network proxy servers on SPEKTRA Edge is easy and straight forward.

Let’s learn how to do it on your device.

What you need

The name and the port number of the proxy server

Configure proxy servers

Let’s configure the proxy server on your device.

Go to the Device overview page of the target device under your project by clicking the name of the device on the Project overview page.

Clicking the device name, Rapberry Pi 5, on the Project overview page. — Clicking the device name, **Rapberry Pi 5**, on the *Project overview* page.

Open the Update device details page by clicking the Edit detail option of the device menu option.

Click the Edit detail option of the device menu option.

Configure the proxy server in the HTTP and/or HTTPs proxy server section of the Update device details page.

You can configure the device to bypass the proxy servers for the particular communication, e.g. the node local communication in the example below.

HTTPS proxy servers

Most of the container registries require the HTTPS connection to access and retrieve images.

Please consult the IT department on the access policies for the container registries and the internet.

Save the page and you are good to go.

The device goes through the proxy server for the HTTP and HTTPS traffic.

Next step

Congratulations for configuring the network proxy servers to give access to the internet as well as accessing the public container registries.

With that, let’s move on to the next learning material, managing device OS releases on SPEKTRA Edge.

Onwards.
