Configuring Docker For Use With a Proxy

Docker support is only available with Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute SDK 2.x.

If you are using Docker behind a proxy, you will need to configure your Docker client and services to use proxy settings in order to complete the NCSDK installation or build examples.

Note: See Using the Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute SDK with Docker for general information about using Docker with the NCSDK.

Official Docker Proxy Documentation

Proxy Setup on Ubuntu 16.04

The following steps show one example of a possible configuration for Docker proxy settings on Ubuntu 16.04 with docker-ce 18.03.1~ce-0-ubuntu. Refer to the official Docker documentation to configure your specific environment.

1. Create a docker config file at `~/.docker/config.json`

Enter the following into the config file (replace the example proxy info with your proxy info):

{
 "proxies":
  {
    "default":
    {
      "httpProxy":"http://proxy.example.com:80"
    }
  }
}

2. Edit `/etc/default/docker`

Change the line that says this:

#export http_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:3128/"

to this (with the info for your proxy):

http_proxy="http://proxy.example.com:80"

3. Edit `/lib/systemd/system/docker.service`

Add this line to the Services section:

EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/docker

4. Reload services

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl restart docker

5. Edit `/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf`

Note: This may not be necessary for your configuration.

Comment out the line that says dns=dnsmasq with a #:

#dns=dnsmasq

Restart the service.

$ sudo systemctl restart network-manager

6. Test

Pull the Docker image for Ubuntu 16.04:

$ sudo docker pull ubuntu:16.04
