The other day, I came across this post from MariusHosting about a self hosted docker container that had built in tools for IT developers. After checking out the demo site, I was definitly interested. It has all kinds of tools I normally have to search online to use, examples include Docker run to Docker compose converter, Password strength analyser, Color code converter, Crontab generator, and MAC address lookup to name a few. CorentinTh did a really good job of building this out.

This container is also very light weight, only about 20MB and doesn’t require any docker volumes to run.

Deployment

---
version: '3.8'
services:
    it-tools:
        image: corentinth/it-tools:latest
        container_name: it-tools
        ports:
            - {port number}:80
        restart: always

Stuff to change for your deployment:

• Port number – You will want to update this to a port that works well inside your environment. It will be the port that you connect to the web interface of the container.

Thats it! Just navigate to the URL of your docker server followed by the port number you entered and you will be presented with the website.

On the main body of the site is all the tools which you can search at the top. On the left side of the screen is the same list built out into categories to make it easier to find what you need.
