Hi everyone, I am having some trouble completing the installation on red hat enterprise linux 6.5.
Everything is working fine up until the bootstrap process. When I run bootstrap I get the output
```
Unable to find image 'samsaffron/discourse:1.0.5' locally

> Is there currently an easy way to install Discourse offline, or from behind a firewall which doesn’t allow internet access? From what I’ve seen of [discourse\_docker’s Dockerfile](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker/blob/master/image/base/Dockerfile), it looks like the default install method is heavily reliant upon network access. I ask this because I am trying to deploy an internal Discourse server for my company in a very similar network environment. More details: Our development machines do have internet access, but the machines we are deploying Discourse to do…

I have now tried configuring the proxy in the app.yml file and I still get the same error. Can anyone provide any insight?

The host needs to be able to get to the net, try.
`docker pull samsaffron/discourse`

I have the same issue (`./launcher rebuild app` ends in `Unable to find image 'samsaffron/discourse:1.0.5' locally`).
However, running `docker pull samsaffron/discourse` does just fine. I’m not sure what to do, right now.
