How to transparently route ALL outbound traffic from the docker container thru the socks5 server running on host? (meaning the entire docker container and everything running inside it should use the specified socks5 proxy)

• gluetun

  374 6,230 9.2 Go

  VPN client in a thin Docker container for multiple VPN providers, written in Go, and using OpenVPN or Wireguard, DNS over TLS, with a few proxy servers built-in.

Okay i think i got it, check out gluetun they have support for a number of options and i believe a socks5 proxy is one of them. I hope this helps, if you need an example of how to route other containers through this i can share a compose.yml file i have for my homelab.

  transparent TCP-to-proxy redirector

I used redsocks (https://github.com/darkk/redsocks) for that, but with completely external proxies. However, this solution requires configuring iptables rules inside the container, which may be unsuitable for your usecase
