Using CloudQuery CLI with a Proxy Server

If you run the CloudQuery CLI in an environment that requires a proxy server for outgoing traffic, you'll need to set it via environment variables. To configure a proxy server for HTTPS traffic set the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable. For HTTP traffic set the HTTP_PROXY environment variable.

Example:

export HTTPS_PROXY=http://example.com:3128/proxy
export HTTP_PROXY=http://example.com:3128/proxy
cloudquery sync [files or directories]

HTTPS in HTTPS_PROXY variable name means that it is a proxy for HTTPS requests, and not the protocol of the proxy, so its value can start with http://.
