• Help users resolve their issues.

Issues

Before reporting your issue please try updating Docker to the latest version and check if it resolves the issue. Refer to the Docker installation guide for instructions.

SELinux users should try disabling SELinux using the command setenforce 0 to see if it resolves the issue.

If the above recommendations do not help then report your issue along with the following information:

• Output of the docker version and docker info commands
• The docker run command or docker-compose.yml used to start the image. Mask out the sensitive bits.

Getting started

Installation

Automated builds of the image are available on Dockerhub and is the recommended method of installation.

docker pull ziobombo/privoxy:latest

Alternatively you can build the image yourself.

docker build -t ziobombo/privoxy github.com/ziobombo/docker-privoxy

Quickstart

Start privoxy using:

docker run -d \
  --name=privoxy \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/Paris \
  -p 8118:8118 \
  -v <path to data>:/config \
  --restart always \
  ziobombo/privoxy

Alternatively, you can use the sample docker-compose.yml file to start the container using Docker Compose

Usage

If you are using Linux then you can also add the following lines to your .bashrc file allowing command line applications to use the proxy server for outgoing connections.

export ftp_proxy=http://<ip>:8118
export http_proxy=http://<ip>:8118
export https_proxy=http://<ip>:8118
