    Cloning into 'bloodbank'...
    fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/person/project.git': Could not resolve host: github.com

Answer 1

That means the DNS is not working from within your container.

Try, as in " Network calls fail during image build on corporate network ", to add the dns network setting to your docker run command

 docker run --dns 10.0.0.2 <image_name> bash

Replace " 10.0.0.2 " by your DNS IP ( ipconfig --all or ipconfig /a on PC .
