About Docker Socket Proxy
The Docker socket is the heart of your container environment and a critical security risk if shared unprotected. This proxy acts as a firewall in front of the socket, allowing only harmless commands (such as “list containers”) while blocking destructive actions (such as “run” or “kill”). Indispensable for Traefik, Portainer & co.
