docker-exposer

Description

This is a simple server that exposes the docker socket to the outside world through http.

Although docker daemon already supports remote access via http, built-in authentication method is very limited.

You can expose your docker socket with additional features built-in or with your own.

Quick Start

WARNING

This project itself does not provide any authentication mechanism by default. NEVER expose this server to the public internet without additional authentication mechanism.
