Getting Docker to connect to proxy running on hosts Localhost address

Docker Engine General

Hi,

when building docker images and dockerfile

how do I get docker to use the proxy of 127.0.0.1:9000 of the host machine of the container

when I point it to 127.0.0.1:9000, it points to the containers localhost and not the host

I have tried using host.docker.internal command to point to http and https variable but no luck

any help would be appreciated - thanks

host.docker.internal is only available in Docker Desktop. Using Docker Engine (Docker CE) you can

  • Use the host IP and protect the proxy with firewall rules against external requests.

  • Allow the proxy to listen on any private IP on the host which is available from containers

  • Use socat to implement a similar solution to the host.docker.internal domain in Docker Desktop:
