Docker installation on CentOS VM fails to install plugins

Expected Behavior

My working environment is a Windows 10 PC on which I run one VirtualBox based, Vagrant controlled CentOS 7 VM as Ansible master and another one as installation target. These are configured with one NAT NIC and one Host Only NIC each. I'm running behind a firewall so I setup proxy configurations in various places. The ansible-jenkins role is included from another role which sets up the environment: installs Docker, creates the Jenkins config directory, etc. My settings are very similar to the examples from the README file:

jenkins_version: "2.73.1"
jenkins_url: "http://127.0.0.1"
jenkins_port: 8080
jenkins_install_via: "docker"
jenkins_config_owner: "vagrant"
jenkins_config_group: "vagrant"
jenkins_java_opts: "-Djenkins.install.runSetupWizard=false"
jenkins_home: /data/jenkins
jenkins_source_dir_configs: files/jenkins-configs
jenkins_source_dir_jobs: "{{ jenkins_source_dir_configs }}/jobs"
jenkins_include_custom_files: true
jenkins_custom_files:
  - src: "proxy.xml"
    dest: "proxy.xml"
jenkins_jobs:
  - "my-first-job"
jenkins_plugins:
  - git
  - log-parser
  - copyartifact
  - workflow-aggregator
  - workflow-multibranch
  - docker-workflow
  - subversion
  - template-project

I'm running Jenkins as vagrant because it has uid 1000 in my VM's. I'd expect this installation to complete successfully.

Actual Behavior

Installation fails at the wait_for task. None of the *.jpi files ever appear in the /data/jenkins/plugins/ directory. From the logs I see that all the attempts to install the specified plugins have similar results:

Is it correct that location points to a localhost URI?

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

I'm afraid it's not easy to reproduce my setup, as it's rather convoluted. I'm eager to provide additional information, but I'm not sure about what could be of use.
