Dockerfile and scripts to build a Docker image for INetSim. Version of INetSim used: 1.3.2.
To start INetSim with DNS, HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP enabled run:
$ docker run -it --rm --name inetsim \
-p 127.0.0.1:53:53/udp \
-p 127.0.0.1:80:80 \
-p 127.0.0.1:443:443 \
-p 127.0.0.1:21:21 \
-e INETSIM_START_SERVICES=dns,http,https,ftp \
-e INETSIM_DNS_VERSION="DNS Version" \
-e INETSIM_FTPS_BIND_PORT=21 \
-v $(pwd)/user_configs:/opt/inetsim/conf/user_configs:ro \
0x4d4c/inetsim
The following directories are defined as volumes:
Directory | Purpose |
---|---|
/opt/inetsim/conf/user_configs |
Place for files to override default config files. |
/opt/inetsim/data |
Service data directory. |
/opt/inetsim/log |
INetSim log files. |
/opt/inetsim/report |
INetSim report files. |
Most of the configuration is done via environment variables. Since there are quite some options which can be set I suggest using an environment file (via --env-file
) or a docker-compose.yml
.
Parameter | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
INETSIM_START_SERVICES |
Commna separated list of services to start. | dns,http,https,ftp |
INETSIM_SERVICE_MAX_CHILDS |
Maximum number of child processes (parallel connections) for each service. | 10 |
INETSIM_SERVICE_TIMEOUT |
If a client does not send any data for the number of seconds given here, the corresponding connection will be closed. | 120 |
INETSIM_CREATE_REPORTS |
Create report with a summary of connections for the session on shutdown. | yes or no |
INETSIM_REPORT_LANGUAGE |
Set language for reports. Refer to the INetSim docs for a list of supported languages. | en |
INETSIM_FAKETIME_INIT_DELTA |
Initial number of seconds (positive or negative) relative to current date/time for fake time used by all services. | 0 |
INETSIM_FAKETIME_AUTO_DELAY |
Number of seconds to wait before incrementing fake time by value specified with INETSIM_FAKETIME_AUTO_INCREMENT (0 disables this option). |
0 |
INETSIM_FAKETIME_AUTO_INCREMENT |
Number of seconds by which fake time is incremented at regular intervals specified by INETSIM_FAKETIME_AUTO_DELAY . This option only takes effect if INETSIM_FAKETIME_AUTO_DELAY not set to 0 . |
0 |
Some services use of TLS connections. All TLS related files (certificates, keys, DH parameters) have to be stored under /opt/inetsim/data/certs/
. If this directory is empty, the [entrypoint script(docker-entrypoint.sh) will generate a private key, a self-signed certificate, and a DH parameters file. These will be used by all activated services, which use TLS. If you want to use your own files, simply put them into /opt/inetsim/data/certs/
, e.g. by mounting a volume.
The following table lists which services uses which files:
Service | Certificate | Key | DH parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HTTPS | https_cert.pem | https_key.pem | https_dhparams.pem |
SMTP | smtp_cert.pem | smtp_key.pem | smtp_dhparams.pem |
SMTPS | smtps_cert.pem | smtps_key.pem | smtps_dhparams.pem |
POP3 | pop3_cert.pem | pop3_key.pem | pop3_dhparams.pem |
POP3s | pop3s_cert.pem | pop3s_key.pem | pop3s_dhparams.pem |
FTPS | ftps_cert.pem | ftps_key.pem | ftps_dhparams.pem |
If you don't provide your own files for a service, it will use the default certificate (default_cert.pem
), default key (default_key.pem
), and default DH parameters (default_dhparams.pem
).
Parameter | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
INETSIM_DNS_BIND_PORT |
Port number to bind DNS service to. | 53 |
INETSIM_DNS_DEFAULT_IP |
Default IP address to return with DNS replies. | 10.10.10.1 |
INETSIM_DNS_DEFAULT_HOSTNAME |
Default hostname to return with DNS replies. | somehost |
INETSIM_DNS_VERSION |
DNS version to return. | "INetSim DNS Server" |
INETSIM_DNS_DEFAULT_DOMAINNAME |
Default domain name to return with DNS replies. | some.domain |
INetSim allows you to define static domain ↔ IP mappings. These mappings can be used to make the DNS service respond with the defined IPs when the corresponding domains are queried and vice versa. There are no predefined static mappings. That is, the services uses the values of INETSIM_DNS_DEFAULT_IP
and INETSIM_DNS_DEFAULT_HOSTNAME
for all answers. If you want to define your own static mappings, you can add them to the file /opt/inetsim/conf/user_configs/dns_static_mappings
. The syntax is dns_static <domain> <ip>
.
Parameter | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
INETSIM_HTTP_BIND_PORT |
Port number to bind HTTP service to. | 80 |
INETSIM_HTTP_VERSION |
Version string to return in HTTP replies. | "INetSim HTTP server" |
INETSIM_HTTP_FAKEMODE |
Turn HTTP fake mode on (yes ) or off (on ). |
yes |
INETSIM_HTTP_POST_LIMIT |
Size limit for HTTP POST requests. | 500000000 |
Fake files are returned by the INetSim HTTP server if INETSIM_HTTP_FAKEMODE
is enabled. You can specify the files to return based on the file extension in the HTTP request of based on the query path. In any case, the files to serve must be placed in /opt/inetsim/data/http/fakefiles
.
The default mapping between extensions and files can be overridden by placing your own http_fakefiles
mapping file into /opt/inetsim/conf/user_configs
. The file has to contain one mapping per line; the syntax for a line is http_fakefile <extension> <filename> <mime-type>
.
The same holds for the mapping between paths and files. Place your own http_static_fakefiles
into /opt/inetsim/conf/user_configs
and it will override the default mapping. The syntax is http_static_fakefile <path> <filename> <mime-type>
.
Parameter | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
INETSIM_HTTPS_BIND_PORT |
Port number to bind HTTPS service to. | 443 |
INETSIM_HTTPS_VERSION |

Turn HTTPS fake mode on (yes ) or off (on ). |
yes |
INETSIM_HTTPS_POST_LIMIT |
Size limit for HTTPS POST requests. | 500000000 |
Fake files in the HTTPS service work in the same way as in the HTTP service (see above). Place a file called https_fakefiles
into /opt/inetsim/conf/user_configs
to override the default mapping between file extensions and files (syntax: https_fakefile <extension> <filename> <mime-type>
) and a file called http_static_fakefiles
to /opt/inetsim/conf/user_configs
to override the default mapping between paths and files.
The HTTPS service expects the certificate under /opt/inetsim/data/certs/https_cert.pem
, the key under /opt/inetsim/data/certs/https_key.pem
, and the DH parameters under /opt/inetsim/data/certs/https_dhparams.pem
