docker-compose build and http_proxy

Question

I want to test ELK. It works fine BUt when I want to do a

docker-compose up

behind a proxy

docker-compose up --no-recreate 
Building kibana
Step 1 : FROM kibana:latest
 ---> 544887fbfa30
Step 2 : RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y netcat
 ---> Running in 794342b9d807

It failed

W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Is' OK with

docker build  --build-arg  http_proxy=http://proxy:3128  --build-arg https_proxy=http://proxy:3128 kibana

But when I redo a docker-compose up, il tries to re-build, and failed to pass through proxy

Any help ?

Answer 1

You will need docker-compose 1.6.0-rc1 in order to pass the proxy to your build through docker-compose.
See commit 47e53b4 from PR 2653 for issue 2163.

Move all build related configuration into a build: section in the service.
Example:

web:
  build:
    context: .
    dockerfile: Dockerfile.name
    args:
       key: value

As mkjeldsen points out in the comments

If key should assume the value of an environment variable of the same name, value can be omitted (docker-compose ARGS):

Especially useful for https_proxy: if the envvar is unset or empty, the builder will not apply proxy, otherwise it will.
