Hey @Ashu
Welcome to our community—it’s lovely to have you here 
I’m not an expert in proxies, but I did look into this, and as probably same as "attempt to join and failed" when using PERSISTENCE_DATA_PATH env with efs storage - #3 by franz_hals by other community member, you can try setting the no_proxy environment variable to exclude local addresses and the pod/container’s own IPs from being proxied. This way, Weaviate’s internal communication won’t go through the proxy, while external requests (like to OpenAI) still will.
Try adding a no_proxy variable alongside your https_proxy. For a single-node setup, you’d typically want to exclude at least localhost, 127.0.0.1, and your pod’s own IP range.
I will also tag my colleague @DudaNogueira who is experienced with proxies in case I missed on any critical point in the above.
Have you tried that already?
