[SOLVED] Docker Error: Could not connect to deb.debian.org (111: Connection refused)

Issue

I am on Windows 10 using Docker to create a Debian image. However, I believe there is something wrong in the Docker Desktop, Dockerfile, or Docker command.

In Docker Desktop, I have made three changes to the default configuration.

1. Under General I have turned on Expose daemon on tcp://localhost:2375 without TLS.
2. Under Resources > Proxies, I have http and https configured.
3. Under WSL Integration I have Ubuntu 18.04 turned on.

The Dockerfile that results in problems is as follows:

FROM debian:buster-slim

ENV LANG=C.UTF-8 LC_ALL=C.UTF-8

RUN apt-get update --fix-missing && \
    apt-get install -y wget && \
    apt-get clean

CMD [ "/bin/bash" ]

If it helps, this alternative Dockerfile runs without problems:

FROM debian:buster-slim

ENV LANG=C.UTF-8 LC_ALL=C.UTF-8

RUN apt-get update --fix-missing && \
    apt-get clean

CMD [ "/bin/bash" ]

The Docker command I use to build the Dockerfile is as follows:

>>> docker build simple-example

Note: Dockerfile is the only file in directory simple-example.

Attempting to build the Dockerfile with the Docker command given the Docker Desktop configuration results in the following error:

Which of these three -- Docker Desktop, Dockerfile, or Docker command -- is causing this error? What should I do to fix it?

Solution

Try putting these two lines in your Dockerfile:

ENV http_proxy=http:...
ENV https_proxy=http:...
