Docker configure http proxy

from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23111631/cannot-download-docker-images-behind-a-proxy

 

That's an old subject, but I'll give my two cents in case someone else is looking for advice.

Here is a link to the official docker doc for proxy http:https://docs.docker.com/engine/admin/systemd/#http-proxy

A quick outline:

First, create a systemd drop-in directory for the docker service:

mkdir /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d

Now create a file called /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/http-proxy.conf that adds the HTTP_PROXY environment variable:

[Service]
Environment="HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:80/"

If you have internal Docker registries that you need to contact without proxying you can specify them via the NO_PROXY environment variable:

Environment="HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:80/"
Environment="NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,docker-registry.somecorporation.com"

Flush changes:

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Verify that the configuration has been loaded:

$ sudo systemctl show --property Environment docker
Environment=HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:80/

Restart Docker:

$ sudo systemctl restart docker
