Public bug reported: If you install docker.io from archive, you get /etc/default/docker populated with a string like: # # If you need Docker to use an HTTP proxy, it can also be specified here. # export http_proxy=http://localhost:3128/
Simply uncommenting that line and adjusting to your http host will not work. This is because that file is loaded as an EnviornmentFile by systemd in /lib/systemd/system/docker.service EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/docker And apparently, systemd silently ignores the line because it is not <key>=<value> To fix this, you have to: http_proxy=http://your.proxy:3128/ rather than export http_proxy=http://your.proxy:3128 I'm not sure if this is easily accomplished or not while retaining support for that file being loaded by sysvinit also.
