Wireshark docker container

Wireshark is a useful tool for debugging your docker networking issues. If something is going wrong, just run this container inside any docker host and you will be able to view all traffic between docker containers.

This container can be executed in both local or remote machine.

$ docker run -ti --net=host --privileged -v $HOME:/root:ro -e XAUTHORITY=/root/.Xauthority -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY manell/wireshark

First, ssh into the remote machine.

$ ssh -X user@host

Then, just run the same command.

$ docker run -ti --net=host --privileged -v $HOME:/root:ro -e XAUTHORITY=/root/.Xauthority -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY manell/wireshark

Don't forget to specify the -X flag to enable the X11 forwarding.
