On mac on a proxy setup, the kitematic doesn't give a proper error that it cannot find an internet connection. Only if you run the commandline you will see it is trying to reach the api or something. (So http_proxy vars might need to be set etc, in order for it to work?)
Anyways, just feedback, since the button suggested that in kitematic ;)
This should be fixed in 0.5.18 as we no longer need to download boot2docker.iso
Hey,
not sure if it's really fixed. I have to use (setup) Kitematic behind a proxy, but i'm getting this error:
getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND github.com
github.com:443
Any idea?
When defining http_proxy/https_proxy variables:
tunneling socket could not be established, cause=write EPROTO
@MatthiasLohr Are you seeing this error if just installing Docker machine from command line?
I'm seeing the first error while trying to install Kitematic app started via finder in a proxy environment.
The second error occurs on calling the setup with http_proxy=... https_proxy=... open Kitematic.app.
@MatthiasLohr It seems like the proxy is not giving you access to GitHub (where Kitematic may pull data).
The proxy has no problem with GitHub... i can use GitHub via proxy in Google Chrome and Firefox...
Maybe an authentication problem? I configured the proxy URL with credentials (http://username:[email protected]:8080/). Does Kitematic use this credentials?
@MatthiasLohr Thanks for the update. This should be a Docker machine problem. We're looking for a fix.
Merging with #1031 and #1029
If anyone still has problems with this on Mac or Windows 10+, please contact me at [email protected].
We are working on something to help address this issue.
Not sure if its the same problem, but I'm just started running the docker beta for Windows, and get the following error when I launch the downloaded version of Kitematic. Any thoughts?

@schergr Some recent changes in networking broke it - Currently working on a fix which should be released Monday.
Thanks
Error in version 0.10.3

@Opticcenter with the Release of Docker for Mac/Windows, we check the native install first - If that isn't there, you have the ability to move forward and use the virtualbox installation instead.
hy , I've same error on ubuntu 17.04 !
Have a solution for this issue?
Hi,
I'm new to Docker Windows. I'm using windows 7 on my corporate machine and I tried all the ways mentioned in all the blogs but no success yet.
When I run Docker Quickstart terminal I see the below

And when I run Kitematic I see the below error

My machine specifications are:
Lenovo Thinkpad, Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit
Kindly let me know what can i do to resolve this please!
I too am facing the same issue where I am not able to login to dockerhub.

Can someone please help ?
You must configure http-proxy.conf .
On ubuntu edit or create /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/http-proxy.conf
like this :
[Service]
Environment="http_proxy=http://your.proxy:your.port"
Environment="https_proxy=http://your.proxy:your.port"
Environment="no_proxy=127.0.0.1, localhost, your.no_proxy"
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd --dns 131.102.100.110 --dns 131.102.37.142 --dns 8.8.8.8 --dns 8.8.4.4 -H fd://
if you are facing this in windows: in command prompt go to kitematic exe location. then do following
set set HTTP_PROXY=http://UN:PWD@host:port
set set HTTPS_PROXY=http://UN:PWD@host:port [note the same here]
then run kitematic.exe, it should work.
