问题
I am running boot2docker on my Mac. OSX version 10.9.3 boot2docker version 4.3.12 Docker version 0.12.0
The boot2docker image is a vagrant box, using virtualbox. I have tried a number of vagrant boxes (for example stigkj/boot2docker). All of them exhibiting the issue.
If I ssh into the boot2docker image and look at /etc/resolv.conf it is using the nameserver 10.0.2.3.
I boot up a simple docker image with the command:
docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/sh
Looking at /etc/resolv.conf in that container, it is using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as nameservers.
In the docker.log file on the boot2docker vm, there is this line:
2014/06/30 15:25:01 Local (127.0.0.1) DNS resolver found in resolv.conf and containers can't use it. Using default external servers : [8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4]
From what I understand, docker is supposed to use the nameserver of the host. Only if the host is using 127.0.0.1 as it's nameserver should it default to the google nameservers as a backup.
The host isn't using 127.0.0.1 as a name server, but it appears that docker thinks it is. Any suggestions on how I can get it to properly detect the nameserver?
回答1:
I found a fix. It appears that the boot2docker image runs the docker daemon before it pulls the DNS from the host. So boot2docker thinks the DNS is set to 127.0.0.1 when it boots, then the machine changes it to the correct nameserver.
The fix is to restart the docker daemon after the image has booted. In vagrant, I did this by adding the below command in the appropriate place in my Vagrantfile:
config.vm.provision :shell, inline: "/etc/init.d/docker restart"
It looks like this is a known issue in boot2docker that will be fixed in an upcoming version: https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker/issues/357

It happens in Windows 7 environment as well using boot2docker 1.0.1, I follow the suggestion in https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker/issues/357
$ sudo udhcpc # refresh the DHCP
$ sudo /etc/init.d/docker restart # restart the service
