Configure Git to use a proxy

In Brief

You may need to configure a proxy server if you're having trouble cloning or fetching from a remote repository or getting an error like unable to access '...' Couldn't resolve host '...'.

Consider something like:

Minimal setup instructions for cntlm (Windows/Linux)

Problem

λ git clone https://github.com/mbostock/d3.git
Cloning into 'd3'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/mbostock/d3.git/':
Failed to connect to github.com port 443: Connection refused

Solution

Install TrueNAS SCALE on a partition instead of the full disk

The TrueNAS installer doesn't have a way to use anything less than the full device. This is usually a waste of resources when installing to a modern NVMe which is usually several hundred of GB. TrueNAS SCALE will use only a few GB for its system files so installing to a 16GB partition would be helpful.

The easiest way to solve this is to modify the installer script before starting the installation process.

	Make sure, running sdptool browse local gives following error:

	Failed to connect to SDP server on FF:FF:FF:00:00:00: No such file or directory

	As it turns out, the culprit is bluetoothd, the Bluetooth daemon. Using SDP with bluetoothd requires deprecated features for some silly reason, so to fix this, the daemon must be started in compatibility mode with bluetoothd -C (or bluetooth --compat).

	Find location of bluetooth.service by:

	systemctl status bluetooth.service

	REGEDIT4

	[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor]
	"DisableUNCCheck"=dword:00000001
