Docker HTTP proxy settings in Upstart

docker software ubuntu upstart

This was driving me crazy. There's some bug reports about it, but nobody has a plain and simple example. So here's mine. Enjoy.

Old:

python
description "Run docker"

start on filesystem or runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]

respawn

script
  /usr/bin/docker -d
end script

New:

bash
description "Run docker"

start on filesystem or runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]

respawn

env HTTP_PROXY="http://your.address:port"
env HTTPS_PROXY="http://your.address:port"

script
  /usr/bin/docker -d
end script
