Cannot connect to chocolatey.org

Expected behavior

I’m running Windows Server 2016 Datacenter (MSDN download) 64 bit - Version 1607 - Build 14393.1715

I’m using Docker For Windows and running Windows Containers.

I figure this is the easiest thing in the world, to do this:

reboot my host machine
docker run -it microsoft/windowsservercore
powershell
iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'));

The expectation is for this to install chocolatey in the container.

I’m actually going to be doing this in a dockerfile, but I’m going for minimum working example to get help right now.

Here’s an actual docker file that fails (it’s not so creative, sadly)

FROM microsoft/windowsservercore

SHELL ["Powershell"]

ENV ChocolateyUseWindowsCompression false;
RUN iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'));

Actual behavior

First things first: I’m running this in a Virtualbox VM. Everything else that I want to work works, including but not limited to: internal network connectivity and tests, sql server running, WCF services running against my docker-compose environment, data coming back correctly. All of the things I expect the system to do are working. This is the last-step, fingers crossed :D. The fact that I’m running this in VirtualBox shouldn’t matter, since the Hyper-V is working and all my machines are working as expected. I just figure it’s worth mentioning.

docker run -it microsoft/windowsservercore
powershell

If, for any forsaken reason this is important, the host OS does need to be activated. I’m doing this in a one-shot dev environment so wasn’t particularly worried about activating the VM just yet. I can’t fathom how this is important.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

I also xposted this to https://devops.stackexchange.com/questions/2155/cannot-connect-to-chocolatey-org-or-any-other-internet-site-from-within-containe/2173#2173

Where I have posted an answer. I would LOVE for someone with more knowledge to give me a better update on how to triage this in the future, or a way to ensure that this doesn’t happen again, or something, but maybe it was just a fluke.

I know that I’ve come across a number of other posts for a similar set of issues, so maybe this is systemic, I’m not entirely sure. C’est la vie I suppose.
