docker-redsocks

Wraps redsocks in an easy to use Docker image.

Usage

To run:

docker run --net=host --privileged wheelerlaw/redsocks [-a <listen-addr>] [-p <list-port>] [-t <proxy-url>]

Options:

-a listen-addr         Local address to bind to. (127.0.0.1)
-p listen-port         Local port to bind to. (5053)
-t proxy-URL           Upstream proxy server to forward requests to (http://localhost:3128).

The proxy can also be specified by environment variable:

docker run --net=host --privileged -e http_proxy wheelerlaw/redsocks [-a <listen-addr>] [-p <list-port>]

Building

To build the image:

docker build .

If you are trying to build the image while behind a proxy, you can specify the proxy server:

docker build --build-arg "http_proxy=<proxy-URL>" --build-arg "https_proxy=<proxy-URL>" .

Or if your proxy host is defined in a local environment variable (http_proxy):

docker build --build-arg http_proxy --build-arg https_proxy .

If http_proxy is set to http://localhost:3128 (if you are connecting through Cntlm for example), then it is likely the above commands won't work. You will need to tell the Docker daemon to use the host network stack:

docker build --build-arg http_proxy --build-arg https_proxy --network=host .
