docker-psocksd

psocksd⁠ is a fast, extensible SOCKS tunnel / proxy server daemon written in PHP. This is a docker⁠ image that eases setup.

About psocksd

The SOCKS protocol family can be used to easily tunnel TCP connections independent of the actual application level protocol, such as HTTP, SMTP, IMAP, Telnet, etc. In this mode, a SOCKS server acts as a generic proxy allowing higher level application protocols to work through it.

Usage

This docker image is available as a trusted build on the docker index⁠, so there's no setup required. Using this image for the first time will start a download. Further runs will be immediate, as the image will be cached locally.

The recommended way to run this container looks like this:

$ docker run -d -p 9050:9050 clue/psocksd

This is a rather common setup following docker's conventions:

• -d will run a detached session running in the background
• -p {OutsidePort}:9050 will bind the SOCKS listening port to the given outside port
• clue/psocksd the name of this docker image
