# How to run Hyperglance behind a proxy (Legacy Docker Guide)

THIS GUIDE IS DEPRECATED AND PERTAINS TO THE LEGACY DOCKER BASED ARCHITECTURE.  [SEE LATEST VERSION.](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/running-hyperglance-behind-a-proxy?hsLang=en)

To run Hyperglance behind a proxy please follow these steps:

1\) Open for editing: /var/lib/data/hyperglance/config.env

2\) Configure the proxy host and the proxy port to point to your proxy:

```
PROXY_HOST=123.0.1.1PROXY_PORT=3120
```

3\) \[Optionally\] If your proxy requires a username and password you can set the username and password:

```
PROXY_USER=myuserPROXY_PASSWORD=yourpassword
```

4\) When running in AWS we must explicitly exclude the [AWS metadata service](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-instance-metadata.html) which runs on the link-local IP 169.254.169.254 from being proxied:

```
NON_PROXY_HOSTS=localhost|127.*|[::1]|169.254.169.254
```

5\) Save the file

6\) Restart services:

```
sudo docker-compose -f /etc/docker-compose.yml up -d
```

Wait a few minutes for Hyperglance start-up and begin collecting data.

If it is not working as expected then [checking the logs](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/how-to-download-diagnostic-bundle-or-logs?hsLang=en) may indicate any configuration errors or connectivity issues.
