Podfox: First Container-Aware Browser

The project being discussed in this post is <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;codeberg.org&#x2F;valpackett&#x2F;podfox#podfox" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;codeberg.org&#x2F;valpackett&#x2F;podfox#podfox</a><p>You can actually use Traefik to do something similar using its Docker service discovery. Instead of being a SOCKS proxy, Traefik is a reverse proxy, and you can combine with `lvh.me` which resolves all subdomains to localhost. I don&#x27;t use this technique any more, but a functional example command can be seen here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;CGamesPlay&#x2F;dotfiles&#x2F;blob&#x2F;c49e2b4ddd0fe591244d93af3f0ef32c8406f5b0&#x2F;files&#x2F;.local&#x2F;bin&#x2F;.argc#L46">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;CGamesPlay&#x2F;dotfiles&#x2F;blob&#x2F;c49e2b4ddd0fe591...</a>

For managing SOCKS proxy usage in the browser, I can highly recommend FoxyProxy[0]. I&#x27;m using it for about a dozen different SOCKS proxy setups, and it also exists for both Firefox and Chrome, making it easy to share a similar setup with colleagues.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getfoxyproxy.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getfoxyproxy.org</a>

I dunno. I just use orbstack and everything works. Containers have their own IP, dns, and https certificates

With regular docker or podman it was always easy and useful to forward a containers port over ssh. Does anyone know how to just as easily do that (i.e. with a single command) for rootless podman?

This is such a great post full of cool little tricks for immutable OS users. Thanks for posting!

Very cool. This proxy should be a Podman feature.
