Recommended Docker Images

iperf3

networkstatic/iperf3
iperf3 is a great container to leave running to do point to point max bandwidth tests on a network

docker run -d --name=iperf3-server -p 5201:5201 networkstatic/iperf3 -s

Then from any other machine in the LAN you can max speed test to this one with:

iperf3 -c hostname.example.com

And you will get results that look like:

[ 4] 0.00-10.00 sec 2.80 GBytes 2.40 Gbits/sec sender

OpenSpeedTest

Don’t want to have to install iperf3 on both the server and client-side to get speed results? OpenSpeedTest is an in-browser client that can get you download/upload speeds.

docker run --restart=unless-stopped --name=openspeedtest -d -p 7777:8080 openspeedtest/latest

Portainer

Portainer is a great web interface that lets you control docker

docker volume create portainer_data #otherwise you get some random named volume
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9000:9000 --name=portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer-ce

Then access it with http://localhost:9000

OpenVPN-AS Access Server

https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/openvpn-as

Runs a private vpn that will route all traffic through the server’s ip. This script assumes you are have Docker-Router already running to handle https certificate and vhost mapping.

CONTAINER_NAME=openvpn
IMAGE_NAME=linuxserver/openvpn-as

# If an old container exists, stop it, rename it and disable its restart policy
docker rm ${CONTAINER_NAME}-old || true
docker stop ${CONTAINER_NAME} || true
docker rename ${CONTAINER_NAME} ${CONTAINER_NAME}-old || true
docker update --restart=no ${CONTAINER_NAME}-old || true

# Get latest version
docker pull ${IMAGE_NAME}

# Startup new container
docker run --detach --name=${CONTAINER_NAME} --label=router.domain=vpn.example.com --label=router.port=943 --cap-add=NET_ADMIN -e PUID=1000 -e PGID=1000 -e TZ=America/Chicago -p 943:943 -p 9443:9443 -p 1194:1194/udp -v /home/ubuntu/openvpn-config:/config --restart unless-stopped ${IMAGE_NAME}

http://localhost:943/admin then login with admin:password

You should create a new admin user and delete the default one as you can’t change its password.

If you are trying to ssh into the node running the vpn, you will need to add the private ip cidr of the EC2 node in the /admin/vpn_settings under Routing for Specify the private subnets to which all clients should be given access (one per line):
On amazon, it will look something like 172.31.48.0/20 depending on your VPC settings.

Splunk

https://github.com/splunk/docker-splunk

This is a great log analyzer that lets you load in any text logs and search for patterns or create dashboards.

By default, when you create a Splunk Docker container, it will enable a Splunk Trial license which is good for 30 days from the start of your instance.

• 500MB/day log ingest
• Allowed 3 license violations in last 30 days (you can ingest any amount of data in 24h)
• 30 Day Trial, can register to get to Splunk Free license
  • no alerting/monitoring
  • no users
  • no report clustering

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -e "SPLUNK_START_ARGS=--accept-license" -e "SPLUNK_PASSWORD=<password>" --name splunk splunk/splunk:latest

Privatebin
