Hands-on guide to taming the stubborn Docker donkey with proxy IPs
Brothers in development understand that the Docker thing to use is really fragrant, but encountered network problems directly let a person's blood pressure soared. Especially those who need to go proxy occasions, the configuration file can make people grip bald hair. Today we will nag how to use ipipgo's proxy IP, so that the container obedient networking.
Why does this Docker thing need an agent?
For example, your company's intranet has a firewall, which is like a big lock on the network. If you want to pull mirrors from the Docker repository, it's like asking a delivery boy to go over the wall to deliver food - no way! This time you need a reliable proxy IP as a middleman, to help containers and the outside world to build bridges.
Three major scenarios where agents are commonly needed:
- Company intranet restricted access to extranet resources
- Avoid IP blocking when you need to collect public data
- Test network services in different geographical locations
Three Tips for Docker Agent Configuration
Here we recommend using ipipgo's static residential proxy, the stability of which beats ordinary proxies. Their proxy support HTTP/HTTPS/Socks5 three-piece suite, configuration is as simple as Lego.
The First Style: Global Configuration Method
Create a new http-proxy.conf in the /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d directory
[Service]
Environment="HTTP_PROXY=http://ipipgo_user:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口"
Environment="HTTPS_PROXY=http://ipipgo_user:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口"
Attention! After configuring theRestart the Docker servicebefore it takes effect, a pit I stepped in three times that year!
Style 2: Temporary activation trickery
docker run -e HTTP_PROXY="http://ipipgo_user:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口"
-e HTTPS_PROXY="http://ipipgo_user:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口"
your_image
This trick is good for ad hoc testing, like putting a cloak of invisibility on a container and taking it off when you're done with it.
Style 3: Mirror build to steal the day
FROM ubuntu
ENV http_proxy http://ipipgo_user:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y your_package
Hack in the Dockerfile to make the image build process go proxy as well. But remember to end up withCancel Proxy Settings, otherwise the finished image will run naked with the proxy configuration.
Guide to avoiding pitfalls: the scene of the old driver's cartwheel
| symptomatic | etiology | prescription |
|---|---|---|
| It pings but fails to download | The protocols are not paired (e.g., http is used to access https). | Switching protocol types in the ipipgo backend |
| Suddenly I can't connect to the proxy. | Possible IP blackout by the target website | Switch to ipipgo's Dynamic Residential Proxy |
| Configuration conflict error | Multiple agents to set up fights | expense or outlaydocker info | grep Proxycheck the configuration |
Heartfelt QA session
Q: Why do you recommend ipipgo's agent?
A: His TK line agent measured download speed can be up to 15MB / s, faster than ordinary agents out of three streets. The key is that the IP pool is large enough to do data collection is not afraid of being blocked.
Q: What should I do if the proxy container becomes a snail after configuration?
A: Eighty percent of the data center agent, replaced by ipipgo static residential agent immediately take off. If it still does not work, check whether it is going socks5 protocol, HTTP protocol will be more trouble-free.
Q: What should I do if my company wants different regional IPs for multiple projects?
A: Directly look for ipipgo customer service to customize the program, they can assign IP by country, city or even carrier. last time we do overseas e-commerce test, a breath of eight countries to ask for a static IP, with the convenience of a la carte.
How do you choose an ipipgo package without stepping on the line?
Beginners are advised to start withDynamic residential (standard)Packages to start, 7.67 yuan / GB of cabbage price of random build. If you're doing serious business, go straight to the static residential package, 35 bucks for a fixed IP can last a month, cheaper than buying milk tea.
Finally, I would like to say: proxy configuration is like a relationship, you have to take your time to get used to it. Encountering problems don't deadlock, ipipgo technical support 24 hours online, the shaking people on shaking people. After all, the hair is their own, the configuration is outside the body.
