Errors installing and starting 1.9.1h on Windows 7 behind a Corp Proxy

[beirtipol]

I followed through the suggestions in #150 but still can't get this running. On installation I get:

and then

The installation says it has completed but when I try to run the docker-quickstart-terminal I get the following error. I can see that the boot2docker.iso is present in the C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox directory but I guess the file move error was related to this not being put somewhere else.

If I try to start the kitematic (Alpha) app, I get this error:

Encountered an error: Error: Command failed: C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker-machine.exe -D create -d virtualbox --virtualbox-memory 2048 default,Docker Machine Version: 0.5.5, build 02c4254,Found binary path at C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker-machine.exe,Launching plugin server for driver virtualbox,Plugin server listening at address 127.0.0.1:56742,() Calling .GetVersion,Using API Version 1,() Calling .SetConfigRaw,() Calling .GetMachineName,(flag-lookup) Calling .GetCreateFlags,Found binary path at C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker-machine.exe,Launching plugin server for driver virtualbox,Plugin server listening at address 127.0.0.1:56746,() Calling .GetVersion,Using API Version 1,() Calling .SetConfigRaw,() Calling .GetMachineName,(default) Calling .GetMachineName,(default) Calling .DriverName,(default) Calling .GetCreateFlags,(default) Calling .SetConfigFromFlags,(default) Calling .PreCreateCheck,(default) DBG | COMMAND: C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe --version,(default) DBG | STDOUT:,(default) DBG | {,(default) DBG | 5.0.12r104815,(default) DBG | },(default) DBG | STDERR:,(default) DBG | {,(default) DBG | },(default) DBG | COMMAND: wmic cpu get VirtualizationFirmwareEnabled,(default) DBG | Couldn't check that VT-X/AMD-v is enabled.

I've tried adding the
C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\kitematic_proxy.cmd as mentioned in issue 150 but it doesn't resolve the proxy error.

Commentary below on fixes I've tried

If I manually open a git-bash shell and edit start.sh to export my proxy, I still get the 'no default boot2docker iso found' error, but at least it downloads a new iso

Insert just after the 'trap' line on line 3

export PROXY="http://my.corp.proxy.ipadd:myport"
export HTTP_PROXY=$PROXY
export HTTPS_PROXY=$PROXY

Moving on to the Hello World example leaves me stuck here though:

                    ##         .
              ## ## ##        ==
           ## ## ## ## ##    ===
       /"""""""""""""""""\___/ ===

docker is configured to use the default machine with IP 192.168.99.100

Trying to run 'docker-machine ls' or any other docker command just prints out

bash: /c/Program Files/Docker Toolbox/docker-machine: Bad address

I had to close the fudged shell and start a fresh one after doing the start.sh changes. Now I can run 'docker-machine ls' and see that it is running:

$ docker-machine ls
NAME ACTIVE DRIVER STATE URL SWARM DOCKER ERRORS

Found something on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31189123/docker-machine-behind-corporate-proxy

Recreated machine with below commands. ($PROXY is defined in the start.sh as per my earlier steps. The trailing slash on the )

docker-machine rm default
docker-machine create -d virtualbox --engine-env HTTP_PROXY=$PROXY --engine-env HTTPS_PROXY=$PROXY default

Gets me a bit further:

$ docker run ubuntu:14.04 /bin/echo 'Hello World'
An error occurred trying to connect: Post https://192.168.99.100:2376/v1.21/containers/create: Proxy Authentication Required

I tried trailing slashes as suggested on #102 but then get 'Service Unavailable' when I try 'docker run'.

Clearly I've not worked around all of the proxy issues. Surely this is a standard thing that should be configured at install time and easily changed?

facing same issue. It seem this bug is introduced recently.

It got resolved at my end.

Background

I work behind corporate proxy and I had not set proxy settings on shell, from where I was accessing the machine.

• This results into following error while docker-machine create commands

Running pre-create checks...

Creating machine...

• To fix this issue, I had set proxy setting on shell.

Problem:

• Due to proxy setting, all my request started going through proxy.
• Docker client requests also, started going through proxy, and was unable to resolve to IP's.

Solution

• Set NO_PROXY setting or remove proxy setting on current shell.

[beirtipol]

@kunalkushwawa what commands, explicitly, are you using to set the proxy, and in which shell?

[kunalkushwaha]

I use Windows 7 host for docker machine.

But I ssh to Windows machine and access it using cygwin shell, I set proxy with

export HTTP_PROXY=http://example.com:8080 

or modify the ~/.bashrc file

In case of Windows shell directly use

set http_proxy=http://example.com:8080 

Note: Windows shell do not use system proxy setting by default.

[kunalkushwaha]

@beirtipol just read your issue again.

It seems, your proxy authentication has failed.
Please make sure you set your proxy with login and password http:\\login:password@proxy.corp.com:port

for Kitematic ensure these steps #102 (comment)

[beirtipol]

Hmm, already tried that but no joy

We are working on something to help address this issue.
