Docker behind proxy with CNTLM

This post is older than a year. Consider some information might not be accurate anymore.

Docker on windows in a corporate environment is behind a proxy. Therefore I use CNTLM for a proxy authentication. This post demonstrate how to remove the default vm (virtualbox image) and create one with CNTLM as proxy. All commands were executed on the windows command prompt.

Remove default image
