I am trying to set up a cluster using the rancher/rancher:2.2.4 container on a host behind a proxy. I have run rancher using the following command:
> docker run -d --name rancher --restart=unless-stopped -p 443:443 -e HTTP\_PROXY=‘redacted’ -e HTTPS\_PROXY=‘redacted’ -e NO\_PROXY=‘localhost,127.0.0.1,0.0.0.0,redacted.0/24,[redacted.com](http://redacted.com)’ rancher/rancher:v2.2.4
When I try to create a cluster, I get this error for all nodes:
> Error creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation: Get [https://releases.rancher.com/os/latest/rancheros-vmware.iso:](https://releases.rancher.com/os/latest/rancheros-vmware.iso:) dial tcp 104.24.16.51:443: connect: connection timed out; Timeout waiting for ssh key
When I check the container, it seems to be trying to connect externally without using the proxy:
> # netstat -tnp | grep SYN
>
> tcp 0 1 172.17.0.3:55612 104.24.16.51:443 SYN\_SENT 255/docker-machine
> tcp 0 1 172.17.0.3:43446 104.24.17.51:443 SYN\_SENT 233/docker-machine
> tcp 0 1 172.17.0.3:43444 104.24.17.51:443 SYN\_SENT 217/docker-machine
> tcp 0 1 172.17.0.3:55610 104.24.16.51:443 SYN\_SENT 236/docker-machine
Have I missed a configuration step, or do I need to investigate a bug?
Many thanks,
Donald Hunter

Thanks for your help. I can confirm that 2.2.5-rc6 resolves this issue.
