How to Install Microproxy on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Microproxy is an open-source tool that allows developers to intercept network traffic between HTTP clients and servers. It is useful for debugging and testing HTTP requests and responses.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Microproxy on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Install Docker

Microproxy runs within a Docker container, so the first step is to install Docker on your Fedora CoreOS instance. Run the following command to install Docker:

sudo rpm-ostree install docker

Step 2: Create a Network

Create a network for Microproxy to use by running the following command:

sudo docker network create microproxy_network

Step 3: Pull the Microproxy Docker Image

Pull the latest Microproxy Docker image from Docker Hub by running the following command:

sudo docker pull thekvs/microproxy

Step 4: Run Microproxy

Now that the Microproxy Docker image is downloaded, run the following command to start the container:

sudo docker run -p 8080:8080 --network microproxy_network thekvs/microproxy

This command starts the Microproxy container and maps port 8080 on the host machine to port 8080 within the container. The container is also connected to the microproxy_network network.

Step 5: Test Microproxy

To test that Microproxy is running correctly, open a web browser and configure it to use Microproxy as an HTTP proxy. Set the HTTP proxy to localhost with port 8080.

Visit any website in your browser, and you should see the HTTP request and response traffic in the terminal running the Microproxy container.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Microproxy on Fedora CoreOS Latest. You can now use it to intercept and debug HTTP traffic.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
