I am running a node server inside a docker container on port 8080 and i can access it via 172.17.0.2:8080 (container ip) now i want to access this ip from localhost:9099. I have tried using iptables to redirect this traffic coming at localhost:9099 to 172.17.0.2:8080 but all measures are in vain. This is the command i was using. Please correct me where i am going wrong. Thanks in advance. sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 9099 -j DNAT --to-destination 172.17.0.2:8080 I took help from [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19897743/exposing-a-port-on-a-live-docker-container) ans but didn't work.

Docker: Restricting inbound and outbound traffic using iptables
We have lot of applications that run on Linux server using Docker. As an example, let us say my application runs on **ServerA** as a container (Docker).

We have lot of applications that run on Linux server using Docker. As an example, let us say my application runs on **ServerA** as a container (Docker). CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES df68695a00f1 app/myapp:latest "/run.sh" 2 weeks ago Up 2 days 0.0.0.0:50423->3000/tcp reallymyapp The app is listening on the port 50423 on the host (mapped to port 3000 on the container). The DNS (endpoint) that is used to access the app is pointing to the HAProxy host (say **ServerB**), that routes the traffic to **ServerA:50423**. Everything works well so far. The security team in our org raised a concern that all external source IPs are potentially allowed to connect to such Docker hosts (like **ServerA**) and they want us to restrict traffic to allow only a specific IP (**ServerB** which is a load balancer) to access the containers and vice versa (**ServerA** to **ServerB**). We would then allow connectivity from our users' machines to **ServerB**/load balancer only. Now, I followed Docker documentation and tried to insert the following rule using iptables to DOCKER-USER chain: iptables -I DOCKER-USER -i ekf192 -s 10.1.2.10, 10.1.2.11, 10.1.2.12 -j ACCEPT iptables -I DOCKER-USER -i ekf192 -j DROP ACCEPT all -- 10.1.2.10 anywhere ACCEPT all -- 10.1.2.11 anywhere ACCEPT all -- 10.1.2.12 anywhere LOG all -- anywhere anywhere LOG level info prefix "IPTables Dropped: " DROP all -- anywhere anywhere RETURN all -- anywhere anywhere Please note that we need both incoming and outgoing traffic from/to these hosts (10.1.2.10, 10.1.2.11, 10.1.2.12). Now, as per my (limited) knowledge on iptables, these rules should drop all incoming requests except for when it is origination from the mentioned IP addresses and vice versa i.e. allow outgoing traffic to mentioned IPs. The incoming traffic works as expected but the outgoing traffic to these HOSTS is getting dropped. I am scratching my head over this and cannot figure out what is going wrong...and not to mention that I absolutely suck at understanding how iptables rules work.

Using iptables to redirect all docker outbound traffic back into container

I've been stuck on this problem all day and am keeping my fingers crossed some iptables expert reads this and can help me please. I would like to force all my docker containers's outbound traffic to go through a socks5 proxy. This is the closest I've come:
iptables -t nat -N REDSOCKS
iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -s 172.20.0.0/16 -d 0.0.0.0/8 -j RETURN
iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -s 172.20.0.0/16 -d 10.0.0.0/8 -j RETURN
iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -s 172.20.0.0/16 -d 127.0.0.0/8 -j RETURN
iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -s 172.20.0.0/16 -d 169.254.0.0/16 -j RETURN

iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -s 172.20.0.0/16 -p tcp -j DNAT --to-destination 172.17.0.1:12345
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -s 172.20.0.0/16 -j REDSOCKS
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -s 172.20.0.0/16 -j REDSOCKS
It works almost perfectly, but the socks5 proxy is unable to tell the originating IP address. The remote address is always '127.0.0.1' Is there any way I can keep the originating IP address? # Example Scenario 1) I have applied the iptables rules above to my docker host 2) I have a docker container with the address 172.20.0.2 2) Inside that container, I do a curl to example.com 3) The traffic is forwarded to 172.17.0.1:12345 (the docker host machine) 4) The server running on 12345 shows the remote IP address as being '127.0.0.1' 5) I would like the remote IP address to show as 172.20.0.2 Thank to anyway who can try and help me with this.

I need to monitor a directory and do some post actions based on the events happened. I am familiar with inotifywait but since we use docker based on alpine, I was thinking about is there other way to do that. Then I found Inotifyd , according to the document there said "While there are tools designed around inotify (inotify-tools) alpine has a build in tool called inotifyd (part of busybox) to execute a command on file system events." But the problem are, a) according that alpine document setting inotifyd to work seems quite complicated compared to inotifywait b) I can't find many articles about inotifyd. So I get the feeling that it is not widely-used. So can someone with experience of Inotifyd shed some light on this ?

I am trying to access the docker image labels from Python as follows hostname = socket.gethostname() cmd = "sudo curl --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock http:/containers/" + hostname + "/json" output = os.popen(cmd).read() But, the thing is I am getting the following error: We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things: #1) Respect the privacy of others. #2) Think before you type. #3) With great power comes great responsibility. sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified It's one of the fancy messages by Unix from some other posts I read from StackOverflow. I am following the below link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37439887/how-to-access-the-metadata-of-a-docker-container-from-a-script-running-inside-th Only thing is I want to run these things from Python not from the Terminal. Also, FYI, I get the response when I run the same command from the terminal. I tried appending the following piece in Dockerfile RUN echo "root ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" >> /etc/sudoers Thanks

Whenever I suspend/resume my VMs the docker networking fails to function (e.g. timeouts between containers and the host, etc.). I'm using docker in the VM, the VM is not controlled by docker. This issue can be resolved by restarting docker (sudo systemctl restart docker) but I would prefer to just restart/reset the network component so I can add it to a resume script. Does docker offer an api to restart its network component?

I was following the steps from this link- Kali In The Browser (noVNC) I have installed kalilinux/kali-rolling on docker and running the commands. When I execute the command x11vnc -display :0 -autoport -localhost -nopw -bg -xkb -ncache -ncache_cr -quiet -forever I am getting the following error. > 22/03/2022 11:10:08 *************************************** 22/03/2022 11:10:08 *** XOpenDisplay failed (:0)
*** x11vnc was unable to open the X DISPLAY: ":0", it cannot continue.
*** There may be "Xlib:" error messages above with details about the failure.

Some tips and guidelines:
** An X server (the one you wish to view) must be running before x11vnc is started: x11vnc does not start the X server. (however, see the -create option if that is what you really want).
** You must use -display , -OR- set and export your $DISPLAY environment variable to refer to the display of the desired X server.
- Usually the display is simply ":0" (in fact x11vnc uses this if you forget to specify it), but in some multi-user situations it could be ":1", ":2", or even ":137". Ask your administrator or a guru if you are having difficulty determining what your X DISPLAY is.

** Next, you need to have sufficient permissions (Xauthority) to connect to the X DISPLAY. Here are some Tips:
- Often, you just need to run x11vnc as the user logged into the X session.
So make sure to be that user when you type x11vnc.
- Being root is usually not enough because the incorrect MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE file may be accessed. The cookie file contains the secret key that allows x11vnc to connect to the desired X DISPLAY.
- You can explicitly indicate which MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE file should be used by the -auth option, e.g.: x11vnc -auth /home/someuser/.Xauthority -display :0 x11vnc -auth /tmp/.gdmzndVlR -display :0you must have read permission for the auth file. See also '-auth guess' and '-findauth' discussed below.

** If NO ONE is logged into an X session yet, but there is a greeter login program like "gdm", "kdm", "xdm", or "dtlogin" running, you will need to find and use the raw display manager MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE file. Some examples for various display managers:

gdm: -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth kdm: -auth /var/lib/kdm/A:0-crWk72 -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-crWk72 xdm: -auth /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0-XQvaJk dtlogin: -auth /var/dt/A:0-UgaaXa > Sometimes the command "ps wwwwaux | grep auth" can reveal the file location. Starting with x11vnc 0.9.9 you can have it try to guess by using: -auth guess (see also the x11vnc -findauth option.)
Only root will have read permission for the file, and so x11vnc must be run as root (or copy it). The random characters in the filenames will of course change and the directory the cookie file resides in is system dependent. See also: http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/faq.html Image enter image description here From this, I will get the answer - https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/x11vnc-at-startup-4175414461/ . But I can't understand what they saying

HTTP version for CURL command on server and docker image
When I'm doing a CURL call ```curl https://example.com``` from a docker container, I got the error ```curl: (92) HTTP/2 stream 0 was not closed cleanly: HTTP_1_1_REQUIRED (err 13)```.

When I'm doing a CURL call
https://example.com 
from a docker container, I got the error
: (92) HTTP/2 stream 0 was not closed cleanly: HTTP_1_1_REQUIRED (err 13)
. But when I'm running the same command from the host server (RHEL) where docker container is running, it is working fine. So, I have added --http1.1 to the command in docker container, then it is working fine. But when I run the same command with --http1.1 on host server, then I got error
: option --http1.1: is unknown
. 1. How the curl picks up the http version while making the call? Is there any setting that we can define to use a specific version by default? 2. Why --http1.1 is not working on server, but working in docker container? Curl version on server is 7.29.0. Curl version on docker container is 7.64.0

Client IP for a host when connecting to localhost port forwarded from docker for desktop - why?

*Please excuse the odd title. This is a strange one that I can't phrase in a single sentence.* My question: Why did the following happen? And, if possible, how can I change the IP that's used without changing the basic tech stack or how I connect? ----- What happened: I was just testing some code that is designed to behave differently based on which remote host it is talking to. The code identified my client IP as 185.125.190.39 which a reverse DNS lookup identified as aerodent.canonical.com. That was really odd because that's a *(well known)* public IP and definitely not one on my local machine. The the client was actually on the same physical box as the server. *This is not a coding error on my part...* I'm confident enough that the code I was testing is behaving correctly on this point. The IP was returned by python's inbuilt socket.getpeername() . The code was running inside docker which itself runs in a VM as part of docker desktop on MacOS. The container was started with a port forward (eg: docker run -p 8080:8080) and the client, run from the MacOS host machine, was just a simple curl http://localhost:8080) Now I know that the code was unlikely to see 127.0.0.1 or any form of localhost because the port forwarding meant that the connection was not coming to the container from it's own local host. The host machine is modeled as a remote. What really shocked me was the choice of alternate IP to use. It's neither in a link-local nor private CIDR range. Meaning there is a risk of collision with the outside world. So I'm left wondering why this IP, why did this happen? How can I change it to use a private IP in this context?

Connect to docker container through host via ssh without RemoteCommand
I have a server that runs multiple docker containers.

I have a server that runs multiple docker containers. I can access my server via SSH, and have set up my ssh_config to allow me to ssh into certain containers that I regularly access: Host some_container HostName my.server.com RemoteCommand docker compose -f /docker-compose.yml exec some_container fish RequestTTY force However, I now need to use a particular piece of software that uses ssh, and access my containers with it. This software sets the ssh command argument. Using the above configuration, this causes ssh to error out with Cannot execute command-line and remote command, due to the presence of RemoteCommand. I do NOT want to have to run an sshd server inside the container. I have attempted to replace RemoteCommand with ProxyCommand, but this reusults in me connecting to my server and the docker command being ignored: ProxyCommand ssh %h -W %h:%p \ -o "RequestTTY=force" \ -o "SessionType=default" \ -o "RemoteCommand=docker compose -f /docker-compose.yml exec some_container fish" (note that this is all one line in my ssh_config - I have split it up here to make it easier to read). Is there any way to ssh into my docker container without running sshd in the container or using RemoteCommand?
