apt-get in docker behind corporate proxy

Question

I\'m attempting to set up a development environment behind a corporate proxy server with Docker. Try as I might, I cannot get the docker container to talk to the proxy server.

Answer 1

A couple of comments, after my own experience:

• make sure to use an http url for HTTPS_PROXY.
• use lowercase proxy variables in the Dockerfile itself
• use both cases proxy variables in the docker profile (in my case, it was in /var/lib/boot2docker/profile)
• in all instances, set a no_proxy/NO_PROXY variable (to .company,.sock,localhost,127.0.0.1,::1)
• don't forget to include the credentials in the proxy url if your proxy request authentication.
