#Question - Docker Socket Proxy 🦄

[TCS-UK]

Hiya,

Do you have any plans to add docker-socket-proxy compatibility so we can connect to the docker socket via TCP?

If the api is compatible with normal clients then I don't see why it wouldn't work out of the box. Have you tried it?

[TCS-UK]

Now I feel an idiot…no I haven’t. The read me sort of indicated that it only worked with the docker socket and nothing else. I’ll give it ago later and report back 👍

I've had problems with http in the past but it may work now. Just give it a shot and report back

Awesome, that's great to hear! Thank you for reporting back. I honestly don't remember what issues I had with http but in my dev environment I most often connect over ssh which wasn't working for whatever reason. I'm just using traefik itself to connect to docker which in turn is using the upstream docker client, so perhaps the issue was fixed at some point.

I'll try to update the docs later on and may include your socket proxy example as well. Have not seen that project before but it looks neat.

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!
