# How can I make docker-compose pull images using a socks5 proxy?

### Method 1

Error:

```
docker-compose up 
Pulling web (jitsi/web:stable-6433)...
ERROR: toomanyrequests: You have reached your pull rate limit. You may increase the limit by authenticating and upgrading: https://www.docker.com/increase-rate-limit
```

then setting `HTTP_PROXY` and `HTTPS_PROXY` this way:

```
export HTTP_PROXY=socks5://localhost:9040/
export HTTPS_PROXY=socks5://localhost:9040/
```

result:

```
docker-compose up 
Pulling web (jitsi/web:stable-6433)...
stable-6433: Pulling from jitsi/web

A shot of before `HTTP_PROXY` and after setting them up:

### Method 2

If method 1 did not work (simple one) you can go with [this one](https://docs.docker.com/config/daemon/systemd/):

#### first

Find systemd location for configuration:

```
systemctl status docker | grep docker.service\;
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
```

which here for my on Debian 9 is `/lib/systemd/system/docker.service` and its directory is `/lib/systemd/system/`\
So `cd` into `/lib/systemd/system/`.

#### second

`mkdir` for `docker.service.d` or:

```
mkdir docker.service.d && cd !$
```

#### third

In `docker.service.d` directory create a `.conf` file like: **http-proxy.conf**

#### forth

Add these in **http-proxy.conf** file:

```
[Service]
Environment="HTTP_PROXY=socks5://localhost:9040"
Environment="HTTPS_PROXY=socks5://localhost:9040"
```

NOTE that `localhost:9040` is mine, update it if you have a different IP or PORT

#### sixth

Because we update the configuration run:

```
systemctl daemon-reload
```

and then restart docker service

```
systemctl restart docker
```

Now it is up and running:
