Hi, everyone
In order to run `./launcher rebuild app`, I use a proxy to help me pull code from Github smoothly.
```plaintext
env:
LANG: en_US.UTF-8
DISCOURSE_DEFAULT_LOCALE: zh_CN
HTTP_PROXY: http://10.27.xxx.xxx:7890
HTTPS_PROXY: http://10.27.xxx..xx:7890
```
But when I run my site, the Github login function is failed. I have to start my local proxy to fix it.
How can I remove the http\_proxy and https\_proxy of my running site.
Are there any commands as below I can follow to fix the problem?
```plaintext
./launcher enter app
//remove env
./launcher start app
```
Any helps would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Maybe if you `bootstrap`, then edit the `app.yml`, then `start`.
Also there is a command line option `--docker-args`. There might be a way to pass something there when you bootstrap.

Can I run `./launcher start app --docker-args` ?

Yes. You can. It’s a shell script and you can look at it. There is some documentation at the top of the file. But I pass docker args to launcher start to add stuff to get it to work with traefik.

thanks, Jay, But I still can’t get rid of the effect caused by
```plaintext
./launcher rebuild app --docker-args="--net=host --env https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7890"
```
I need something to remove the proxy settings when I restart my app like this:
```plaintext
./launcher start app --docker-args="--net=host --removeEnv" //removeEnv is not a valid command, I only use this for illustration purpose
```

Have your tried changing the env settings in the yml file begotten /between the bootstrap and start?

Yes, but it doesn’t work, so I tried not to mess with the app.yml and use --docker-args to pass the GFW.
When I try to login with Github auth, it turns out that the request pass through the proxy address which is not what I expected.
BTW: my site is [emacs-china.org](http://emacs-china.org), you can reproduce the issue with Github auth.
Thanks.

Finally, I got it working.
1. edit container/app.yml, remove http\_proxy
2. ./launcher destroy app
3. ./launcher start app
./launcher destroy app could remove the docker env settings in most situation.

Out of curiosity: What _were_ you expecting? Isn’t that what `HTTP_PROXY` is _supposed_ to do?
