How to fix: yum install with error in docker container? – CentOS

I just would like to try to install sshd in centos:latest image.

I try to install ‘passwd’, typing the command like this:

yum install passwd

But I have a error like this:

Failed to set locale, defaulting to C.UTF-8
CentOS-8 - AppStream                            0.0  B/s |   0  B     00:30    
Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'AppStream':
  - Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name for http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=8&arch=x86_64&repo=AppStream&infra=container [Could not resolve host: mirrorlist.centos.org]

I don’t know why I can’t install using yum in docker container?

    Just tested this on my local machine:

    docker run -it -d --name test centos:latest;

docker exec -it test /bin/bash;

    In docker container:

    [root@f3b8b3fe70df /]# yum update -y;
[root@f3b8b3fe70df /]# yum install passwd;

    Add access to the host network using --network host

    docker run --network host -it -d --name test centos:latest

    Masquerading allows for docker ingress and egress:

        firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-masquerade --permanent

    Specifically allow incoming traffic on port 80/443 :

         firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=443/tcp

    Reload firewall to apply permanent rules:

         firewall-cmd --reload

    Restart docker :

         systemctl restart docker
