Network timed out while trying to connect to https://index.docker.io
I had the same problem this morning and the following fixed it for me:
$ docker-machine restart default # Restart the environment$ eval $(docker-machine env default) # Refresh your environment settings
It appears that this is due to the Docker virtual machine getting itself into a strange state. There is an open github issue here
I installed Docker without the Toolbox on Windows 10, so the version that requires Hyper-V to be enabled.
For Docker version 1.12 I had to go into the taskbar, right click the Docker Icon, select Settings -> Network and set the DNS Server to fixed, so that is uses Google's DNS server at 8.8.8.8
.
Once that setting was changed, it finally worked.
The simpler solution is to add the following entry in /etc/default/docker file
export http_proxy="http://HOST:PORT/"
and restart the docker service
service docker restart
