Container cannot access the internet

[scott2b]

I am not finding a mechanism to allow access to the internet from within the container during grading. This is problematic for the courses I build, which teach things like web API usage.

Perhaps there is a configuration I am just not seeing. However, this seems likely to be related to the hard-coding of network mode to 'none' in the Docker client here:

coursera_autograder/coursera_autograder/commands/grade.py

Line 166 in 5822f4c

network_mode='none',

Hi Scott, Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately coursera_autograder is not an exact replication of how it is being run on coursera grading infrastructure. Also access to the internet is allowed only for certain domains in production. New domains will be added after reviewing the request.

We will prioritize to test/fix this flow in coursera_autograder, which might not happen soon. Please feel free to help us with a PR and test samples, and we will be able to review and merge accordingly. Please let us know if you have any follow up comments.
