docker-cntlm

build-push

A container to function as a proxy, based on CNTLM. Other systemc can connect to this proxy for their web access. This container authenticates to an external proxy and can be used by others without authentication details.

Generating a password hash

A password hash needs te be generated once, after which is can be used when running the proxy.

docker run \
  -e "USERNAME=my_username" \
  -e "DOMAIN=example.com" \
  -e "PROXY=proxy.example.com:3128" \
  --rm -it robertdebock/docker-cntlm -H

Now you have to enter your password (which will not be displayed) and press enter.

Replace:

  • my_username for your own username.
  • example.com for you own domain.

The PROXY variable can have any value when generating a hash. For running CNTLM, a correct value is required.

You'll seen output like this:

    Password: 
    PassLM          1AD35398BE6565DDB5C4EF70C0593492
    PassNT          77B9081511704EE852F94227CF48A793
    PassNTLMv2      640937B847F8C6439D87155508FA8479    # Only for user 'username', domain 'mydomain'

Running the proxy

To run the proxy:

  • you'll need the PASSNTLMV2 hash generated in the step before.
  • you'll also need the proxy to send traffic to.

This is an example of how to run this container.

docker run --restart always --name cntlm \
  -e "USERNAME=my_username" \
  -e "DOMAIN=example.com" \
  -e "PASSNTLMV2=MY_HASH_MY_HASH_MY_HASH_MY_HASH_" \
  -e "PROXY=proxy.example.com:3128" \
  -p 3128:3128 \
  robertdebock/docker-cntlm

Required variabled.

VARIABLE EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
USERNAME my_username Your username, without a domain (@ or \).
DOMAIN example.com The domain where your user lives.
PASSNTLMV2 640937B847F8C6439D87155508FA8479 The generated hash, see above.
PROXY * proxy.example.com The hostname (or IP) of your corporate proxy.
  • = PROXY can be a string (single) or a list (mulitple). For example: example.com:3128;example.com:3129.

The -p 3138:3128 maps the port on a host (left from colon) to a port on the container (right from colon).

Optional variables

VARIABLE EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
LISTEN 127.0.0.1:8080 The IP/hostname and port (separated by a colon) to listen to.
AUTH Auth parameter.
PASSNT Required for auth method Auth NTLM2SR, Auth NT and Auth NTLM.
PASSLM equired for auth method Auth LM and Auth NTLM.
NOPROXY 127.0.0.1, 10.* For address which should not be routed through the proxy. Comma separated list.
OPTIONS -v Optional variable to enable cntlm features.
CUSTOM_CONFIG

Mount custom config

If you want to use an existing cntlm.conf you can mount it directly by settings the CUSTOM_CONFIG environment variable.

docker run --restart always --name cntlm \
  -e "CUSTOM_CONFIG=true" \
  -p 3128:3128 \
  -v /etc/cntlm.conf:/path/to/your/cntlm.conf \

Using in Docker Compose

You can use this container quite well in a docker-compose. Docker compose can simply be used to run as a stand-alone proxy. In that case the docker-compose.yml simply saves all variable, and can be started by running:

docker-compose up

You can add the CNTLM service in a set of other containers, and let (outgoing) traffic from you application go through the cntlm proxy.
