galera manager not starting without external connectivity | also posted on codership google group

[mjhgthb]

We installed galera manager on an internal node, and it starts, but crashes after it finds it cannot connect to "http://checkip.amazonaws.com/": dial tcp 34.252.239.71:80: i/o timeout

Is that on purpose? Can we not run galera-manager on an internal node? :-(

and the process ends.

Any way around this?

No one..? Am I the only one seeing this?

This is part of an "offline install".

From the developers:
We really cannot support it easily since we rely on installing 3rd party packages, some from our private repository. Getting it to work in an unconnected environment is very non-trivial.
Note, this service is used to determine gmd's external ip. Technically they can specify it manually, but believe me they will come with the other issues.

So consider this a feature request that is currently unsupported @mjhgthb

Hi Colin,
Thanks for clarifying this. Appreciated!

It would be good if the system could use a proxy server at least.
