djfaze/port-forward repository overview

⁠port-forward

used to forward ports

⁠usage

The following environment variables need to be defined

1. REMOTE_HOST host you want to forward to
2. REMOTE_PORT port on remote host to forward to

port 80 inside the container will be forwarded to the remote host and port

• use -P to have docker pick a random port on the host to forward
• use -p <host_port>:80 to define a custom port to forward where host_port is the port on the host that needs to be forwarded

⁠example

the following will forward local host traffic from port 8080 to remote host 10.32.0.1 and port 27017

docker run -e REMOTE_HOST=10.32.0.1 -e REMOTE_PORT=27017 -p 8080:80 port-forward
