Deploying CLIs to developer machines
Have a look at https://github.com/cloudposse/geodesic

Docker as personal linux computer
That's basically what geodesic does. I use it almost daily with my team and it allows us to maintain the same tooling cross platform.
- Terraform - Kubectl - AWS Docker image

The Kubernetes Troubleshooting Handbook
For more complex issues, consider using a debug container with pre-installed tools. There are a lot of good docker images with tooling and scripts for debugging, one that stands out to me is https://github.com/nicolaka/netshoot. It can quickly be created using:
- Docker Container Can't Ping
- Vaultwarden docker container with internal network
- Internet not working inside any Kubernetes pod

Docker Networking: A Step-by-Step Guide for Developers
Now, let's use netshoot, a Docker image equipped with a set of networking troubleshooting tools that can be used for Docker networking.
- Has the image netshoot the Alpine/musl DNS issues?
-
What's your favourite Docker Image, and why?
nicolaka/netshoot for sure. having a preloaded array of networking troubleshooting tools in an image for kubernetes debugging is a godsend.
- k8s docker image with basic troubleshooting tools
-
Networking lab for learning using containers?
First off, it seems like getting tcpdump or Wireshark to capture from the container network and dumping to a file will take some extra steps. (A lot of blog posts seem to recommend this Github project - https://github.com/nicolaka/netshoot)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing geodesic and netshoot you can also consider the following projects:
basedevcontainer - Base development Docker image used by other development Docker images
containers-roadmap - This is the public roadmap for AWS container services (ECS, ECR, Fargate, and EKS).
docker-android - Android in docker solution with noVNC supported and video recording
container_builder - This project builds containers images using Ansible. The containers are defined as hosts in the Ansible inventory. They are generated using host and group variables, templates and local connection.
docker-backuppc - Docker container with BackupPC version 4.x/3.x based on Alpine distribution.
ksniff - Kubectl plugin to ease sniffing on kubernetes pods using tcpdump and wireshark
