Ubuntu 16.04 : Error "Could not connect to archive.ubuntu.com:80 (91.189.88.152)" while running "apt-get update " command in a dockerfile

Question

I will put across my issue as follows :

1. I want to build a docker image for Hyperledger Indy-sdk
2. While building docker image it uses docker-compose command to build two images and combine them i.e., indy-pool image and getting-started image. My docker-compose.yml file looks as shown below

version: '2'
services:
  indy_pool:
    build:
      context: ../../ci/
      dockerfile: indy-pool.dockerfile
      args:
        pool_ip: '10.0.0.2'
    image: indy_pool
    container_name: indy_pool
    working_dir: /home/indy
    ports:
      - "9701:9701"
      - "9702:9702"
      - "9703:9703"
      - "9704:9704"
      - "9705:9705"
      - "9706:9706"
      - "9707:9707"
      - "9708:9708"
    networks:
      pool_network:
        ipv4_address: 10.0.0.2
    volumes:
       - sandbox:/var/lib/indy/sandbox/
  jupyter:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: getting-started.dockerfile
    command: jupyter notebook --ip=0.0.0.0
    image: getting-started
    container_name: getting_started
    working_dir: /home/indy
    volumes:
       - ./getting-started.ipynb:/home/indy/getting-started.ipynb
       - sandbox:/home/indy/sandbox
    ports:
      - "8888:8888"
    networks:
      - pool_network
    links:
      - indy_pool
networks:
  pool_network:
    driver: bridge
    ipam:
      driver: default
      config:
        -
          subnet: 10.0.0.0/24
volumes:
     sandbox:

3. The above docker-compose will initiate the indy-pool.dockerfile to run. The contents of indy-pool.dockerfile is as shown below

CMD ["/usr/bin/supervisord"]

4. Now both Ubuntu 16.04 image and indy-pool image will get created successfully as shown in the image Ubuntu 16.04 and Indy-pool Success Screenshot

5. After this when getting-started.dockerfile starts running. getting-staretd.dockerfile looks like this

FROM ubuntu:16.04

RUN useradd -ms /bin/bash indy

# Install environment
RUN  apt-get update -y &&   apt-get install -y \
    wget \
    python3.5 \

    pip \

    jupyter \

RUN apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys CE7709D068DB5E88 \
    && add-apt-repository "deb https://repo.sovrin.org/sdk/deb xenial stable" \
    && apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y \
    libindy=1.11.0

USER indy

EXPOSE 8888

6. The whole issue starts when RUN apt-get update -y gets executed in getting-started.dockerfile. The following lines of error are shown to me

Note : My docker engine and docker-compose are installed on top of Ubuntu 20.04

To resolve this issue I went to multiple resources available in internet. From that I can say it is not an issue with DNS lookup and http proxy(as I am not working in proxy network).

As I am new to Docker build and docker compose I strongly believe that it is something to do with image building process. If anyone of you have come across similar issue and resolved it kindly provide me suggestions to solve above one.

Answer 1

Try build with the option --network=host the dependencies got resolved and was able to create image with indy SDK

docker build --network=host -t indy-image .

Answer 2

Maybe it's a proxy problem ?
You can set docker proxy config into ~/.docker/config.json.
It's explained here, in docker doc.
