Docker Network Tools

cd docker pulls image size

A Docker image with various network tools pre-installed.

Usage

To launch a Bash session in your terminal:

docker run --rm -it jonlabelle/network-tools

To launch a Bash session in your terminal on arm64:

docker run --rm -it --platform linux/arm64 jonlabelle/network-tools

To run a command directly and exit when finished (nmap in this case):

docker run --rm -it jonlabelle/network-tools nmap -v 10.0.10.0/24

NOTE: To pull from GitHub Container Registry, instead of Docker Hub, replace jonlabelle/network-tools with ghcr.io/jonlabelle/network-tools.
