Upon executing terraform init I face issue with downloading only docker resource:

After following this post I downloaded the file in local and I get to perform terraform init successfully but failed to run terraform apply with below error:

Hey Gahan,

Have you found a solution to this issue. I’m experiencing same challenge following the tutorial here

Has this been fixed yet? Is there a solution?
I’m just at the training side, so not sure what it’s doing. But I assume kreuzwerker/docker is the source of docker it assumed is installed. But I installed it from my companied repo, and not “kreuzwerker”.
Am I on the right track? Can I just replace kreuzwerker with something from “apt show docker”?

I solved for my setup.

Debian on WSL inside comapny VPN.

I needed to configure the proxy. adjust for your proxy: i.e.:

export http_proxy="http://user:password@proxy.example.com:8080"
export https_proxy="http://user:password@proxy.example.com:8080"

You might also need to setup “/etc/resolve” with your DNS IP addresses, if you’ve not done already.
