munkyboy/redsocks repository overview

A redsocks container primarily used to transparently utilize http(s) proxies.

Inspired by https://github.com/jpetazzo/squid-in-a-can⁠ and https://github.com/wtsi-hgi/docker-proxify⁠

This container requires that you link the host network stack to the container. After starting the container, you will then issue iptable commands to redirect specific ports to the redsocks daemon.

to run:

docker run --net=host -e http_proxy=http://1.2.3.4:3128 redsocks

The container currently interprets the environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy to configure redsocks. Upon starting, the start script will echo sample iptables commands to issue on the host.
