# Setting custom environment variables
DETAILS:
**Tier:** Free, Premium, Ultimate
**Offering:** Self-managed
If necessary you can set custom environment variables to be used by Puma,
Sidekiq, Rails and Rake via `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`. This can be useful in
situations where you need to use a proxy to access the internet and need to
clone externally hosted repositories directly into GitLab. In
`/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` supply a `gitlab_rails['env']` with a hash value. For
example:
```ruby
gitlab_rails['env'] = {
"http_proxy" => "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@example.com:8080",
"https_proxy" => "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@example.com:8080"
# "no_proxy" => ".yourdomain.com" # Wildcard syntax if you need your internal domain to bypass proxy
}
```
You can also override environment variables from other GitLab components which
might be required if you are behind a proxy:
```ruby
# Needed for proxying Git clones
gitaly['env'] = {
"http_proxy" => "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@example.com:8080",
"https_proxy" => "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@example.com:8080"
}
gitlab_workhorse['env'] = {
"http_proxy" => "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@example.com:8080",
"https_proxy" => "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@example.com:8080"
}
gitlab_pages['env'] = {
"http_proxy" => "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@example.com:8080",
"https_proxy" => "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@example.com:8080"
}
# If you use the docker registry
registry['env'] = {
"http_proxy" => "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@example.com:8080",
"https_proxy" => "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@example.com:8080"
}
```
GitLab will attempt to use HTTP Basic Authentication when a username and password is included in the proxy URL.
Proxy settings use the `.` syntax for globing.
Proxy URL values should generally be `http://` only, unless
your proxy has its own SSL certificate and SSL enabled. This means, even for
the `https_proxy` value, you should usually specify a value as
`http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@example.com:8080`.
NOTE:
DNS rebind protection is disabled when either the HTTP_PROXY or the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable is set,
and the domain DNS can't be resolved.
## Applying the changes
Any change made to the environment variables requires a reconfigure for it
to take effect.
Perform a reconfigure:
```shell
sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
```
