Description

It would be convenient if VMs started by multipass shared the apt proxy configuration of their (Ubuntu) host.

I've got an apt proxy on my local network, published via avahi, discovered via Apt::Acquire::AutoProxy. It would be very convenient for multipass VMs to use it (particularly for the snapcraft VMs)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how multipass sets up apt configuration in VMs and add logic to forward host proxy settings.
