After installing proxy config for Docker, Containers still do not have proxy info in ENV Var.

[Bal33p]

Standalone
v. 2.3.120

I followed the SO documentation and installed the proxy server url on the standalone server. Everything seems to be working fine. I can run soup and it finishes with no issues except when I check the docker containers environment variables I still do not see the proxy server reference. I followed the Docker config information and added the proxy info to the ~/.docker/config.json file. However, I still see connections from the Elasticsearch container trying to connect to Github and such
In this test environment I have installed SO with root so my question is. Other than root what user is spinning up docker containers and where should I place the docker config file so that the container receive the env variable for the Proxy
