ajaegle/udp-listener

Docker image that listens on a specified UDP port, outputs to container log as hex dump.

Start it

By default, you can run it like this

docker run -p 0.0.0.0:5005:5005 -p 0.0.0.0:5005:5005/udp --name udp-listener ajaegle/udp-listener:1.0.0

You can make it listen on another port

docker run -p 0.0.0.0:4444:4444 -p 0.0.0.0:4444:4444/udp -e UDPPORT=4444 --name udp-listener ajaegle/udp-listener:1.0.0

Test it

In another terminal:

nc -4 -u localhost 5005

And start sending data. You should see your text reflected in the docker run terminal
