# socat-docker
|
|
|
|
A simple Docker image based on `docker.io/alpine`, which otherwise only contains socat.
|
|
|
|
It can be used for example to proxy TCP connections to a Unix socket and vice versa, which is useful for bridging between namespaced and host networking.
|
|
|
|
This was developed specificially to access node_exporter running as `--network=host` from a Prometheus running in a regular Docker network.
|
|
|
|
UID:GID in the image is random, but consistent across different socat-docker containers to ensure effortless sharing of sockets via bind mounts.
