This is possible, you need:

- Export http and https ENV variables in your current shell

- Add the same variables to the env block inside the `containers/app.yml` file

- Add the same variables to the docker system.d service config file (read system.d docs on this, you will need to create a new service file somewhere).

After this, our official guide will work just fine.
