Systemd level proxy instead of per service

[krsna1729]

There is a way to use systemd level environment such that all services can inherit the environment, in this case the proxy env variables.

DefaultEnvironment=
Sets manager environment variables passed to all executed processes. Takes a space-separated list of variable assignments. See environ(7) for details about environment variables.

Example:

DefaultEnvironment="VAR1=word1 word2" VAR2=word3 "VAR3=word 5 6"
Sets three variables "VAR1", "VAR2", "VAR3".

I have not had luck getting this to work, even just manually setting the values with systemctl set-environment HTTP_PROXY="..." and doing a systemctl daemon-reload. Have you ever done this for system level environment variables?

systemctl daemon-reexec might be needed.
