    After hours of trying different stuff, answering my own question to help others.

    sudo docker run -d -p 5000:5000 -v /home/myhomedirectory/test:/var/lib/registry -e http_proxy=http://organizationswebproxyaddress:port/ --name registry registry /var/lib/registry/config.yml

    Look at -e switch with -e switch you can pass in environmental variables to the container. In this case im passing http_proxy environmental variable so the container uses my http proxy for accessing the Internet. you can even authenticate if your proxy needs authentication.
