Docker container can reach DNS but not resolve hosts

问题

I'm having an interesting problem running docker containers: out of the blue, I'm not able to resolve DNS from within the container.

Here's a rundown:

Nothing is resolving; apt-get, pip, one-off ping containers, etc. Running docker run -it --dns=8.8.8.8 ubuntu ping www.google.com results in ping: unknown host www.google.com both with and without the --dns flag.
I can reach 8.8.8.8 both from inside and outside the containers. docker run -it ubuntu ping 8.8.8.8 works.
I've configured the containers to use both 8.8.8.8, 8.8.8.4, and my local network DNS servers (in various permutations) both by editing /etc/sysconfig/docker to add DOCKER_OPTS="--dns 8.8.8.8 --dns 8.8.8.4" and by setting the --dns 8.8.8.8 flag on the containers at runtime. systemctl restart docker was run between each change.
ip_forward is enabled. (see here)
I've done a full reset as specified here.

I'm running Fedora 21, docker client version 1.5.0.

Any ideas? I'm at a complete loss as to what's preventing docker from accessing the Internet successfully.

They have fixed the issue in 1.8: https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/13381 Cheers.

After all this, a full reboot solved the problem - although, that still doesn't answer what it was.

If anyone knows what the actual cause was, I'm still curious, but for now the problem is gone.

You could install tools like dig inside the docker image to alanyse the issue.

use static hosts in your /etc/hosts file te make apt-get run inside the docker image. add these lines to your hosts file:

213.32.5.7 debian.mirrors.ovh.net
141.76.2.4 ftp.de.debian.org 
217.196.149.233 mirror-conova-security.debian.org
212.211.132.250 lobos.debian.org
212.211.132.250 security.debian.org 
5.153.231.4  http.debian.net 
151.101.12.204 cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org
151.101.12.204 security-cdn.debian.org
