docker-proxy-relay

A docker container to forward traffic to an HTTP proxy relay.

It uses redsocks to forward requests to a proxy. go-any-proxy may be an alternative.

Why?

To use docker behind http proxy at work.

1. start a docker container with cntlm and redsocks
2. set up an iptable rule to redirect everything incoming from network interface docker0 to the proxy-relay-container

How to use it?

Obtain the startup script

wget https://github.com/kops/docker-proxy-relay/raw/master/docker_proxy.sh
chmod +x docker_proxy.sh

Start the proxy relay and redirect all docker containers outgoing traffic on port 80 to the proxy-relay-container

./docker_proxy.sh start <username> <proxy_host>:<proxy_port>
<username> <proxy_host>:<proxy_port> password: xxxxxx

Stop the proxy relay:

./docker_proxy.sh stop

Get status:

./docker_proxy.sh status
