Dante & Docker Compose

Should you run using Docker Compose a private SOCKS server with simple username/password auth, clone this project and create a settings file:

$ git clone https://github.com/adegtyarev/docker-dante.git
$ cd docker-dante
$ vim .env

Set the following parameters:

• SOCKD_PORT: the port to listen to
• SOCKD_USER_NAME: the username to use by clients
• SOCKD_USER_PASSWORD: the password

For example:

$ cat .env
SOCKD_PORT=1080
SOCKD_USER_NAME=username
SOCKD_USER_PASSWORD=password

Start a new container:

$ docker-compose up -d

The SOCKS server should be up and ready to serve. An example command to test the proxy service you have just set up:

$ curl -x socks5h://username:password@127.0.0.1:1080 http://example.com

Access the logs with:

$ docker-compose logs -f dante
