  • 1.  Firewall rules needed for Rocket's server

    Posted 01-19-2021 09:50
    Hi, 

    Is it documented anywhere what addresses and ports we need open on our firewall to reach the conda servers (both free and paid for) at Rocket? I'll have to make a request and have it approved, and I really don't want to have to go through that pain more than once.. :-)

    Thanks

    Hi Andy Styles,

    As I know you should allow outgoing to https(443) and http(80) ports.
    If you behind a company proxy check this link:
    https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/user-guide/tasks/proxy/

    Thanks,
    Alexander

    Hello Andy/Alex,

    Did you get the rules sorted?

    I am now at the stage where I need to get through DNS/PROXY/FIREWALL.

    I get:-

    ITSXSA3:/u/itsxsa3: >host condaserver.rocketsoftware.com

    EZZ8342I condaserver.rocketsoftware.com: Unknown host



    I have seen where Alex says " allow outgoing to https(443) and http(80) ports."

    but no mention regarding connection protocols like TLS, SFTP, need for certificates. 
    Proxy servers are also involved.

    What protocols does CONDA use to retrieve files?

    etc.

    Regards
    Bruce

    What would be nice, I guess, is a script that can be run in our system prior to installing CONDA, that tests for the correct connectivity, and makes recommendations when problems are found.

    Hi Bruce,
    We don't have any script like that...

    If you are behind a proxy, try these steps:
    1. download the latest miniconda from the customer portal
    2. upload and install it  (read miniconda doc how to do that) on your lpar, choose "N" when the installer asks for "Configure to use Rocket's secure conda server? [Y/n] " 
    3. after complete installation and all steps from doc run the following commands in cmd line:
    conda activate
    export https_proxy=https://user:password@yourproxy:proxyport

    in case if your proxy has SSL processing you also need to add your company or/and proxy certificate to the end of miniconda/ssl/cacert.pem

    after that, you can try to use conda via proxy

    e.g. :

    conda search curl -c https://conda.anaconda.org/zoss-appdev

    also, check the link above to docs.anaconda.com

    Thanks,

    Alexander
