Unable to get registry cache to work

I am trying to setup a docker registry mirror using the steps here and here

The command I use to start the registry mirror is

docker run -d --restart=always -p 5000:5000 --name registry-mirror -v /Users/proxycache/docker-proxy-cache/data:/var/lib/registry -v /Users/proxycache/docker-proxy-cache/config:/etc/docker/registry registry:2

my config looks like

version: 0.1
log:
  fields:
    service: registry
storage:
  cache:
    blobdescriptor: inmemory
  filesystem:
    rootdirectory: /var/lib/registry
  delete:
    enabled: true
http:
  addr: :5000
  headers:
    X-Content-Type-Options: [nosniff]
health:
  storagedriver:
    enabled: true
    interval: 10s
    threshold: 3
proxy:
  remoteurl: https://registry-1.docker.io

I did not setup any certs because this is just local and not tied to a domain.

after it starts I am able to run curl -I http://proxycache.local:5000/v2/ and I get

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 2
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Docker-Distribution-Api-Version: registry/2.0
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2017 17:52:21 GMT

I can also run curl http://proxycache.local:5000/v2/_catalog and I get

{"repositories":[]}

My client is a MAC so I am using docker for mac. I open the preferences and go to the daemon tab and put in proxycache.local:5000 in the registry mirrors section

If I run docker info I get

The part where it says

Registry Mirrors:
 http://proxycache.local:5000/

seems to indicate that minikube is setup correctly

If I run docker pull busybox:latest it downloads the image, but does not update the mirror. If I pull the catalog curl http://proxycache.local:5000/v2/_catalog it is still empty

What else am I missing?

nevermind. I figured it out.

@ryanmcjolt what was missing? How did you get it working?

Docker, did not seem to like the way we had setup our DNS. So I used the IP address of the machine in the Registry mirrors section instead of the DNS name and it worked.
