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  bash

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