Could not resolve host: github.com for SamSaffron/pups.git

Hi all -

We’re enjoying discourse thus far. I’m having an issue with running a rebuild of the docker container. The container won’t rebuild because for some reason it can’t resolve github.com. I know the host system (debian jessie) can resolve at that time via dig && ping. However if I issue a systemctl restart docker the issue goes away.

I turned to the goog or alphabet machine which suggested starting the docker daemon using the goog’s dns which I’ve done and confirmed that it seems to have taken via a systemctl status docker.

I’ve been able to reproduce on a debian droplet and a virtual box vm.

Also I’ve been able to successfully pull a Ubuntu image, and run the container.

I’m not sure if there’s something in launcher or any other suggestions? Working off of git master, and is up to date.

shortlist:

  • Debian Jessie Kernel 3.16
  • Docker version 1.6.2, build 7c8fca2

This is very likely the solution

Hi @sam thanks for taking the time to review.
I have that option uncommented in /etc/defaults/docker, and I’ve restarted the docker service many times.

To clarify, after restarting the docker service the laucher rebuild will work once, after that I have to restart the service.

You can see this via my systemd status.

CGroup: /system.slice/docker.service
           └─22232 /usr/bin/docker -d -H fd:// --dns 8.8.8.8 --dns 8.8.4.4

Same issue, I went to add the cloudflare template and when rebuilding it could not resolve github.com.

I have already tried the solution of using googles DNS servers in dockers configuration file with no success.

doing ping github.com works but again, it cant seem to resolve when rebuilding.

Here is the error:

Here is me pinging github.com

Interestingly though, when I ping6 github.com I of course do not recieve a response because github does not have AAAA records i believe.

Any idea how to fix this?

This isn’t a Discourse problem, it’s a Docker problem. You’ll probably get more knowledgeable help at the Docker support forums (which, helpfully, also run Discourse).

I figured out the issue and solution to this problem at least for me.

The issue was that Docker uses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as its DNS and I had an OVH network based firewall blocking ALL IPv4 traffic that did not match port 80, 443, and a few other specific rules. I had to authorize IPv4 traffic for 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Sto riscontrando un problema simile sull’ultima versione di Discourse da Git. Questo è iniziato dopo aver eseguito un aggiornamento di sistema e/o di Discourse tramite l’interfaccia web. Ora, quando provo a ricostruire l’app, ottengo:

[root@forum /var/discourse]# ./launcher rebuild app

./discourse-doctor may help diagnose the problem.

Posso fare ping su github.com e 8.8.8.8, e ho provato a modificare /etc/default/docker per attivare l’opzione DNS: DOCKER_OPTS="--dns 8.8.8.8 --dns 8.8.4.4"

Dove dovrei continuare a indagare su questo problema?

Questo è Ubuntu 18.04 con gli ultimi aggiornamenti applicati.

Sto riscontrando lo stesso errore di gekkonen dopo aver tentato di aggiornare all’ultima versione di Discourse.

Sembra che Docker non possa più accedere a Internet dalla rete bridge predefinita:

docker run -it --net=bridge --rm busybox ping -c 1 github.com
ping: indirizzo errato 'github.com'

Se lo costringo a utilizzare la rete host, può accedere a Internet:

docker run -it --net=host --rm busybox ping -c 1 github.com
PING github.com (140.82.112.4): 56 byte di dati
64 byte da 140.82.112.4: seq=0 ttl=53 tempo=6.902 ms

--- statistiche ping github.com ---
1 pacchetto trasmesso, 1 pacchetto ricevuto, 0% perdita di pacchetti
min/avg/max del round-trip = 6.902/6.902/6.902 ms

Sto anche eseguendo Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS, avendo aggiornato tutti i pacchetti e installato tutti gli aggiornamenti di sicurezza immediatamente prima di seguire la sequenza di aggiornamento di Discourse.

@gekkonen Sono riuscito a far funzionare di nuovo il mio. Come soluzione temporanea per forzare il funzionamento di Internet da Docker, puoi configurare la rete docker0 in modalità “promiscua”:

[root@forum /var/discourse]# ifconfig docker0 promisc

Dovresti quindi essere in grado di utilizzare launcher per ricostruire l’app e il forum Discourse dovrebbe funzionare correttamente. L’avvertenza è che probabilmente dovrai eseguire di nuovo il comando dopo ogni riavvio.

Fammi sapere se funziona per te.

Non conosco ancora la causa principale del problema.

Sì, sembra aver risolto temporaneamente il problema con il DNS. Grazie per il suggerimento.

Su CentOS 8, questo errore è dovuto ai pacchetti RPM di Docker per RHEL 7 (non esistono ancora quelli per RHEL 8), che non comprendono il nuovo firewall basato su nftables. È necessario configurare manualmente il masquerading per l’interfaccia docker0.

https://serverfault.com/questions/987686/no-network-connectivity-to-from-docker-ce-container-on-centos-8

Vorrei confermare che questa soluzione funziona. Sto utilizzando CentOS 8 con Hetzner.

Nello specifico, ho eseguito questi comandi nell’ordine indicato di seguito (fonte) - grazie a @paulraines68

# Il masquerading consente l'ingress e l'egress di Docker (questa è la parte cruciale)
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-masquerade --permanent

# Consenti specificamente il traffico in ingresso sulle porte 80/443 (niente di nuovo qui)
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=443/tcp

# Ricarica il firewall per applicare le regole permanenti
firewall-cmd --reload
