How to install chaincode behind a proxy?

Hi everyone,

I was following lab 4.1 and got an issue while installing the chaincode on the peers. The error is shown below:

$ peer lifecycle chaincode install simple_chaincode.tar.gz
Error: chaincode install failed with status: 500 - failed to invoke backing implementation of 'InstallChaincode': could not build chaincode: docker build failed: docker image build failed: docker build failed: Error returned from build: 1 "+ INPUT_DIR=/chaincode/input

• OUTPUT_DIR=/chaincode/output
• cp -R /chaincode/input/src/. /chaincode/output
• cd /chaincode/output
• '[' -f package-lock.json -o -f npm-shrinkwrap.json ]
• npm install --production

I looked for possible ways of setting the proxies and found a solution here but I could not find out whether I have to create my own Dockerfile and build a custom image after adding the proxy or which existing files to edit and what should I tag that custom image as hyperledger/fabric-ccenv:latest ? I am also open to any alternate ways of resolving this.

Thanks

I also tried to do npm install before packaging the chaincode so that the dependencies get packaged together with the chaincode but I get this error:

$ peer lifecycle chaincode install simple_chaincode.tar.gz

• cp -R /chaincode/input/src/. /chaincode/output
• cd /chaincode/output

• npm ci '--only=production'

It is using npm ci '--only=production' which will remove the existing node_modules and try to install all the dependencies again which gives the same proxy issue.
