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

Estou enfrentando um problema semelhante na versão mais recente do Discourse via Git. Isso começou a acontecer após realizar uma atualização do sistema e/ou do Discourse pela interface web. Agora, quando tento reconstruir o aplicativo, recebo:

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

** FALHA NO BOOTSTRAP ** Por favor, role para cima e procure mensagens de erro anteriores; pode haver mais de uma.
./discourse-doctor pode ajudar a diagnosticar o problema.

Consigo fazer ping no github.com e no 8.8.8.8, e já tentei editar /etc/default/docker para alternar a opção de DNS: DOCKER_OPTS="--dns 8.8.8.8 --dns 8.8.4.4"

Onde devo continuar investigando isso?

Isso está sendo executado no Ubuntu 18.04 com as atualizações mais recentes aplicadas.

Estou recebendo o mesmo erro que gekkonen após tentar atualizar para a versão mais recente do Discourse.

Parece que o Docker não consegue mais acessar a Internet de forma alguma a partir da rede bridge padrão:

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

Se eu forçar o uso da rede host, ele consegue acessar a Internet:

docker run -it --net=host --rm busybox ping -c 1 github.com
PING github.com (140.82.112.4): 56 bytes de dados
64 bytes de 140.82.112.4: seq=0 ttl=53 time=6.902 ms

--- estatísticas de ping do github.com ---
1 pacote transmitido, 1 pacote recebido, 0% de perda de pacotes
min/média/máx do tempo de ida e volta = 6.902/6.902/6.902 ms

Estou também executando o Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS, tendo atualizado todos os pacotes e instalado todas as atualizações de segurança imediatamente antes de seguir a sequência de atualização do Discourse.

@gekkonen Consegui fazer o meu funcionar novamente. Como solução alternativa, para forçar a Internet a funcionar a partir do Docker, você pode configurar a rede docker0 para usar o modo “promiscuous”:

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

Em seguida, você deverá ser capaz de usar o launcher para reconstruir o aplicativo, e o fórum Discourse deverá funcionar normalmente. A ressalva é que você provavelmente terá que executar o comando novamente após cada reinicialização.

Me avise se funcionar para você.

Ainda não sei a causa raiz do problema.

Sim, isso parece ter resolvido o problema com o DNS por enquanto. Obrigado pela sugestão.

No CentOS 8, esse erro ocorre porque os pacotes RPM do Docker para RHEL 7 (ainda não existem versões para RHEL 8) não compreendem o novo firewall baseado em nftables. É necessário configurar manualmente o mascaramento para a interface docker0.

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

Gostaria de confirmar que essa solução funciona. Estou no CentOS 8, com Hetzner.

Especificamente, executei os seguintes comandos na ordem listada abaixo. (fonte) - obrigado a @paulraines68

# O mascaramento permite o tráfego de entrada e saída do Docker (esta é a parte importante)
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-masquerade --permanent

# Permitir especificamente o tráfego de entrada nas portas 80/443 (nada de novo aqui)
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=443/tcp

# Recarregar o firewall para aplicar as regras permanentes
firewall-cmd --reload
