Docker Desktop Strips Proxy Credentials on Manual Proxy Configuration
Developers behind authenticated corporate proxies find Docker Desktop fails to pull images even after configuring proxy settings via UI, environment variables, and daemon.json — with manual proxy configuration silently stripping the username and password on save. This leaves engineers on proxied networks unable to pull images through any documented configuration path.

Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallyDocker Login Credential Helper Fails in WSL2 When Interop Is Disabled
Developers using Docker Desktop with WSL2 integration on Windows encounter a credential storage failure when WSL interop is disabled, preventing Docker from executing the Windows-native desktop.exe credential helper. Docker Desktop continuously overwrites the config.json with a credsStore setting that becomes non-functional in that environment, and manual fixes are reverted. The root cause is a specific environment misconfiguration rather than a software defect, making it hard to diagnose without knowing to check WSL interop status.
Claude Cowork Desktop Unusable in Corporate Environments Without Proxy
The Claude Cowork desktop app runs in an isolated VM with no awareness of host-system proxy configuration, causing all API calls to fail silently in corporate networks behind HTTP/HTTPS proxies. Unlike Claude Code CLI which supports standard proxy environment variables, Cowork provides no mechanism to configure or inherit proxy settings, completely blocking enterprise adoption.
Docker Builds Cannot Resolve VPN-Only Package Registry Despite Working Container Networking
A developer's container can reach a VPN-only package registry at runtime, but the image build step fails with a DNS resolution error. This blocks installing private dependencies during builds.
Stale ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL Produces Misleading Connection-Refused Error
When a stale ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL environment variable points to a dead local endpoint, Claude Code fails instantly with a generic connection-refused error, while standard diagnostics like curl and raw fetch succeed because they don't read that variable, leaving users no clear diagnostic path to the true root cause.
Homelab Services Unreachable Over IPv6 Behind CGNAT
A homelab user behind CGNAT cannot reach a Docker and reverse-proxy service from outside their network over IPv6. Causes such as Docker's IPv4-default networking, router firewall or ISP blocking are hard to isolate.
