environment variables - Problem with accessing docker.sock when running Sudo –E docker

Question

I have some problems running docker on a Debian (Stretch) VM hosted by our IT. I need to run dockerd as sudo, but under sudo I cannot access internet locations, because the VM admin set the option

• env_reset = true

in /etc/sudoers which wipes the proxy settings.

So, if I run

$>sudo docker run hello-world

I get a timeout error because sudo cannot reach out to internet locations. If I run

$>export HTTP_PROXY=our_proxy
$>sudo -E docker run hello-world

I get an error message

docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///home/myusername/.docker/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?. 

Obviously, the -E option somehow changes as well the path where docker looks for the file docker.sock - which resides at /run/

How can I get around this issue?
