In general, a Docker build file (Dockerfile) should be usable on any Docker server. In some cases however, you would like to have something like a conditional ‘IF’ statement in your Dockerfile. To give an example: It is common usage to use apk/apt-get/curl or any other tool in your build that needs to download data from the Internet.
Alas, in some networks the use of a HTTP(S) proxy is mandatory and thus an impediment.
In this article we will show how to run a proxy-agnostic Docker build. The described mechanism is also usable for other circumstances.
