environment variables with Kubernetes Template systemd Integration

Discussed in #18794

Long title, hopefully somewhat self explanatory.

So I'm trying to use podman to deploy our services/pod. I'm also trying to take advantage of the [email protected] systemd template to manage my pod.

However I'm also trying to set the http_proxy and https_proxy variables in the containers environment. For some reason the variables are not getting passed into the containers even if they are set in the host environment.

Is there a recommendation for how to do this? I am fairly new to kubernetes but it sounds like I might need to create configmap? Ideally I could just pass it in with my .yml file. like ${http_proxy} but it seems to pick that value up literally.

Hi Rhatdan! Thank you for opening this. I was just about to do this as well. Let me know what all information I can help provide.

The ideal situation for me, would be to have the environment variables (http_proxy, https_proxy) picked up on podman kube play (which in turn would work from the Kubernetes systemd integration) so that I could just worry about setting those there.

I think #15983 would also provide an acceptable solution to my issue but probably still not ideal for containers.conf.

@umohnani8 PTAL
Yes the containers.conf needs to be fixed.
