Syncing is not available behind an authenticated proxy

[gizmometer]

I am unable to reach the sync servers because I work behind an authenticated proxy. Please consider adding support for this type of environment.

Hey Conrad, does this only happen via the desktop app, or the web app as well?

[gizmometer]

Hi Mo, it's only on the desktop app.

[atmoio]

This issue has come up previously once in the past, and unfortunately the solution requires a lot of manual intervention in the code. I can't really promise when I can get to this, but I'll keep a close eye on it.

I am running into this problem too, is there now any way to use the desktop app behind a proxy?

[atmoio]

Not that I know of currently..

I'm running into this, too. I once added proxy support for the Astro CLI here, using global-agent, and it turned out the only code change was a few lines of initialization code:

import {
	bootstrap as bootstrapGlobalAgent
} from 'global-agent';

bootstrapGlobalAgent({
	environmentVariableNamespace: '',
});

That should set it up to read the http_proxy environment variables.

I just found Standard Notes, so I'm not sure if I'll end up using it yet, but if it seems nice I could try a PR real quick to see if it actually ends up that easy to fix.

Hi @zicklag, the app repo is here if you’d like to try submitting a PR!

Hi, this is unfortunately again an issue with the newest version of astro 4.5.x.

Per my observations it looks like:

1. If we use global-agent to bootstrap on the frontmatter part then it works fine for that part
2. But it fails when astro tries to pull down the remote images via component

It also seems that code from related MR has been removed on some later versions as I can't find it anywhere in the code.

Hi guys. I've landed here because I've just begun trialling StandardNotes with self-hosted sync. The sync server sits behind Pangolin. In order to fully benefit from the Pangolin access control and authentication layer, Standard Notes Desktop/mobile applications would need to implement Custom Proxy Headers, which is one of the forms of proxy authentication that Pangolin supports.

I've seen other applications that support this, such as Immich (photos) and Obsidian (community plugin for self-hosted sync).

Any chance Standard Notes will implement this in the future?
