description: How to run Livingdocs behind a proxy.

---
Where applicable, Livingdocs respects the environment variables `HTTPS_PROXY` and `HTTP_PROXY` by default and routes all external requests through the given proxy.

```bash
HTTPS_PROXY=https://my.proxy.com
HTTP_PROXY=http://my.proxy.com
```

For more fine-grained control, you can adapt the proxy settings of each external service in your configuration file.
