Description

When working with a proxy configured in docker config.json it automatically passes the proxy information to the created containers. The problem is that some projects using docker compose refer to containers via their hostname. With a proxy configured these connections can be sent to the proxy server rather than the expected container.

Since coordinating between multiple containers is most likely to occur within a compose project, and compose should be able to determine which containers are networked it would be nice if entries were automatically added to the NO_PROXY environment variables within the containers.

An example project where I encountered this behavior is https://github.com/ckan/ckan-docker which builds & runs fine out of the box on a non-proxied connection, but when a proxy is enabled ckan can't reach solr. I was able to add a few lines to the startup scripts to get past my issue, but it seems like a universal solution is feasible and would be better.
