          snapd reads /etc/environment, so setting the usual proxy environment variables there works. On Ubuntu, that's done automatically for you by Settings → Network → Network proxy, so as long as you restart snapd after changing that file you should be set.

            Being more specific, the snapd.service file is located here: /lib/systemd/system/snapd.service

          • @darkhole one shouldn't edit /lib/systemd/system/snapd.service, but use systemctl edit snapd.service. See my answer: askubuntu.com/questions/659267/…

            Remember, you will need to restart the snapd service before these changes take effect.

          There is another way to add environment variables to systemd services:



          Create a folder for the snap daemon and create configuration files for the environment variables:



          $ sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/snapd.service.d/
          $ echo -e '[Service]nEnvironment="http_proxy=http://1.2.3.4:3128/"'
          | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/snapd.service.d/http-proxy.conf
          $ echo -e '[Service]nEnvironment="https_proxy=http://1.2.3.4:3128/"'
          | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/snapd.service.d/https-proxy.conf
          $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
          $ sudo systemctl restart snapd


          After that you can check if the environment variables are set for snapd:



          $ systemctl show snapd | grep proxy
          Environment=http_proxy=http://1.2.3.4:3128/ https_proxy=http://1.2.3.4:3128/
          DropInPaths=/etc/systemd/system/snapd.service.d/http-proxy.conf /etc/systemd/system/snapd.service.d/https-proxy.conf

            Snap uses snapd daemon. You only need to define http_proxy and https_proxy in /etc/environment and restart the service: systemctl restart snapd.

              Be careful, because the snapd reads the /etc/environment file instead of get the ENV variable.
              This example below doesn't work:



              export https_proxy=http://<your.ip.here>:3128


              you have to use:



              http://<your.ip.here>:3128

                  Snap service is configured to use special environment file, so you can just add http_proxy variable to it if your current environment variables are not picked up by the snap.



                  Open file:



                  sudo vim /etc/sysconfig/snapd


                  Add:



                  http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:3128
                  https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:3128

                        There is another way to add environment variables to systemd services:



                        Create a folder for the snap daemon and create configuration files for the environment variables:



                        $ sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/snapd.service.d/
                        $ echo -e '[Service]nEnvironment="http_proxy=http://1.2.3.4:3128/"'

                            Snap uses snapd daemon. You only need to define http_proxy and https_proxy in /etc/environment and restart the service: systemctl restart snapd.

                                    Be careful, because the snapd reads the /etc/environment file instead of get the ENV variable.
                                    This example below doesn't work:



                                    export https_proxy=http://<your.ip.here>:3128


                                    you have to use:



                                    http://<your.ip.here>:3128

                                                        Snap service is configured to use special environment file, so you can just add http_proxy variable to it if your current environment variables are not picked up by the snap.



                                                        Open file:



                                                        sudo vim /etc/sysconfig/snapd


                                                        Add:



                                                        http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:3128
                                                        https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:3128
