Hello all,

After several days of working with Rancher, I’m really impressed with the ease of usage. On my laptop and docker-machine it works amazingly snappy.

After installing Rancher on a few machines under VMWare (sudo ros install etc…). I’m really struggling with the proxy.

I have the proxy server parsed in the cloud-config.yml file. This allows me to install rancher/server and be able to pull any image.

Only after a little while/a few minutes (without change). I keep receiving proxy errors and also docker pull no longer works. After a reboot all seems well again.

Error (Image [jenkins:1.651.3] failed to pull: Error while pulling image: Get repositories/library/jenkins/images: http: error connecting to proxy proxy\_server: dial tcp 10.42.7.9:8080: getsockopt: no route to host)

[rancher@rancher ~]$ sudo system-docker pull jenkins  
Using default tag: latest  
Pulling repository [docker.io/library/jenkins](http://docker.io/library/jenkins)  
Error while pulling image: Get [https://index.docker.io/v1/repositories/library/jenkins/images:](https://index.docker.io/v1/repositories/library/jenkins/images:) http: error connecting to proxy proxy\_server: dial tcp 10.42.7.10:8080: getsockopt: no route to host  
[rancher@rancher ~]$

Hope you guys have any suggestion 🙂

To show that after a few minutes the proxy settings go awry, here the console. Commands are about 5 minutes apart;

[rancher@rancher ~]$ sudo system-docker pull jenkins

UPDATE!

Managed to solve this with the following command!

sudo ros config set rancher.docker.environment “[‘http\_proxy=proxy.server:8080’, ‘https\_proxy=http://proxy.server:8080’]”
