[Docker] Define a proxy

A quick outline:

First, create a systemd drop-in directory for the docker service:

mkdir /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d

Now create a file called /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/http-proxy.conf that adds the HTTP_PROXY environment variable:

[Service]
Environment="HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:80/"

If you have internal Docker registries that you need to contact without proxying you can specify them via the NO_PROXY environment variable:

Environment="HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:80/"
Environment="NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,docker-registry.somecorporation.com"

Flush changes:

systemctl daemon-reload

Verify that the configuration has been loaded:

systemctl show --property Environment docker

Environment=HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:80/
Restart Docker:

systemctl restart docker
