Answer a question

I'm trying to run docker on windows (OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64bit, Docker ver: 18.09.0, build 4d60db4), by following the hello-world instruction here. Then I got this following "server misbehaving" error:

Error response from daemon: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/: proxyconnect tcp: dial tcp: lookup <companyProxy> on 192.168.65.1:53: server misbehaving.

I tried to change the DNS (in Docker setting - Network - DNS Server) from Automatic to Fixed (8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4) as suggested here, but still did not solve the problem, and resulted in another type of error ("timeout exceeded").

Error response from daemon: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/: net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers).

I am behind company's proxy, and have set the proxy (and the credentials) both on environment variable and also docker setting. I also tried to reinstall both docker and hyperV but still got the same problem.

Can anybody help? Thanks

The timeout in your last configuration is caused by the fact that you're not getting through the proxy to those external DNS servers (8.8.8.8 - 8.8.4.4), I think.

You should be solving the first issue, being the server misbehaving. As was the case with me, mentioned here, this was caused by the unability of docker to authenticate with the proxy. My solution was to use cntml.

The cntlm configuration is actually really straightforward if you follow their guidelines. When you have cntlm running, you need to configure docker to use that as a proxy instead of your corporate proxy. Just a plain proxy without authentication - most likely 127.0.0.1:3128, if you're running it on the same machine. cntlm will handle the authentication on the corporate proxy.

As a reference, this is the cntlm config I used:

Username        <username>
Domain          <domain>
Password        <password>

PassLM          <PassLM output of cntlm -H>
PassNT          <PassNT output of cntlm -H>
PassNTLMv2      <PassNTLMv2 output of cntlm -H>

Proxy           <corporate proxy>:<corporate proxy port>
NoProxy         localhost, 127.0.0.*, 10.*, 192.168.*, 172.16.*.*

Listen          3128

You get the hashes by running cntlm -H -u <username>@<domain>.

Make sure you run cntlm in gateway mode cntlm -g (instead of cntlm -v).

Good luck!
