Description of problem: When the DNS server is changed on the system, docker keep using the one used at its startup. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): EL 7.0 docker : 1.0.0-1 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start docker (systemctl start docker) 2. Do any operation which needs DNS resolution (docker pull fedora:latest) => System DNS is used 3. Change system DNS to 8.8.8.8 or any different DNS 4. Do some other operation which needs DNS resolution (docker pull fedora:rawhide) 5. You should see that first is still used Actual results: No DNS update Expected results: Docker should use the current system DNS Additional info: This is especially disturbing on a laptop, because a docker restart is needed everytime I change network (when first DNS is not reachable anymore, usually when DNS has a private IP)
Hmm, don't have a fix yet, but it seems: Case 1: change DNS from reachable to unreachable address, DNS settings take effect right away Case 2: change DNS from unreachable to reachable address, the very first docker operation fails, but subsequent ones work without a restart.

Though not sure if docker 1.0.0 (and later) have made it into RHEL7 proper yet. Changing bug Product and Version to Fedora and rawhide.
docker-1.3 should pick up the /etc/resolv.conf file on docker run time not at the time the daemon starts. I think this fixes most of your problem.
Not likely to change the rest. Fixed in docker-1.3.1
