publish

lukaszlach / clips / publish

Publish a port on a running container using a TCP proxy.

docker publish add CONTAINER PORT
docker publish rm PORT
docker publish ls

This Docker Client Plugin allows to publish a container port which was not published before, because of reasons. The traffic goes through the TCP proxy running in other container which actually publishes the port.

Install

$ docker clip add lukaszlach/clips:publish

Usage

add

In case you have a container running and need to publish any TCP port, run docker publish add command:

$ docker run --name nginx -d nginx

$ docker publish add nginx 80
b2b7b0f147b3179d315aacb1a25f93526c03614fe8431e9fcabc8d4f318cbd28
Successfully published nginx:80

You can also pass a "ip:port" value in order to bind to the specific network interface:

$ docker publish add nginx 127.0.0.1:80

rm

When the published port is no longer needed you can manually remove it with the docker publish rm command. When the parent container on which the proxy depends on is stopped, so is the proxy.

$ docker publish rm 80
Successfully stopped publishing :80

ls

List all additionally published ports.

$ docker publish ls
PORT            CONTAINER
80              3f93e8f80bca
