Description Darryl Bond 2014-04-04 00:33:47 UTC
Description of problem: Docker-io does not work behind a proxy server
The docker daemon does not use the proxy and attempts to access directly


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
HTTP_PROXY=http://my_proxy:3128/ docker pull busybox

Actual results:
Pulling repository busybox
2014/04/04 08:56:42 Get https://index.docker.io/v1/repositories/busybox/images: dial tcp: lookup index.docker.io on [10.x.x.x]:53: no such host

Expected results:
Unable to find image 'busybox' locally

hello world

Additional info:

Fixed by adding an environment file to docker.service



Add file /etc/sysconfig/docker containing 
HTTP_PROXY=http://my_proxy:3128

Add
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/docker

to docker.service file

Comment 1 Vincent Batts 2014-04-06 02:24:06 UTC
you were right to add the HTTP_PROXY to where the docker daemon would use it. The `docker pull` does not actually fetch bits, but rather instructs the daemon to fetch the bits.

I'm not sure it is expected behavior for the docker cli to pass HTTP_PROXY to the daemon for use. This would need to be investigated. If it is the case that the cli neither uses nor passes HTTP_PROXY, then this is working as intended. Perhaps there should be verbage in the man-pages for `docker pull` and `docker run`.

Comment 2 Darryl Bond 2014-04-07 21:09:22 UTC
Most references to docker and proxies found on google do not explicitly say where the HTTP_PROXY should be set.
My suggestion is to add an EnvironmentFile to the systemd service file as part of the package. It is strange that it is missing as most similar daemons have one.

Comment 3 Marcello de Sales 2014-04-11 07:21:42 UTC
I have the same problem and I still can't find a solution:

[mdesales@pppdc9prd1vq ~]$ HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy02.xyz.net:80 docker pull ubuntu
Pulling repository ubuntu
2014/04/11 00:16:45 pull: Get https://index.docker.io/v1/repositories/ubuntu/images: dial tcp 54.224.119.89:443: connection timed out

My environment is set with the given proxy and I can download the same URL with WGET...

[mdesales@pppdc9prd1vq ~]$ wget https://index.docker.io/v1/repositories/ubuntu/images

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2014-05-28 16:48:55 UTC
THis working now?  Can I close this bug?

Comment 6 Darryl Bond 2014-05-28 21:14:04 UTC
It will be still broken unless the environment file is added to the docker package for the daemon startup.
Note Marcello (above) is starting the docker daemon manually rather than by systemd.

I fixed it for my install by doing that indicated in the first post.
I imagine the docker package maintainer has to fix it for everyone.

Comment 7 Lokesh Mandvekar 2014-05-28 21:23:49 UTC
ack, thanks, I'll add the EnvironmentFile variable (pointing to /etc/sysconfig/docker)
