Dante is a free SOCKS server and a SOCKS client, implementing RFC 1928 and related standards.

• Base image: Alpine Linux
• Dante version: 1.4.2
• 

The image is ready to run Dante server or client in a Docker environment:

$ docker run --rm adegtyarev/dante sockd -v Dante v1.4.2. Copyright (c) 1997 - 2014 Inferno Nettverk A/S, Norway 

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
