What is the suggested way to pass HTTP\_PROXY environment variables from the installation to my application containers?

What about NO\_PROXY?

These have to be set manually for the application. We provide template functions, which read these values from kotsadm pod environment: [Static Context - Kots.io](https://kots.io/reference/template-functions/static-context/#httpproxy)

If kots isinstalled without proxy info, then application will need to have config options that can be set in Admin Console.
