Expose network namespace created by Docker

Expose network namespace created by Docker Disclaimer: this is probably *not* the best way for doing this, but it's pretty good for educational purposes. During a debug session I wanted to connect an application to a service tha ran in a docker container. This was for test-purposes only, so hackish and fast are the keywords. First of all, I'm not a Docker expert, but I've a pretty good understanding on Linux internals, namespaces and how things works on a Linux system.

TIL - docker scratch image

TIL - Docker scratch image TIL, Today I Learned, is more of a "I just figured this out: here are my notes, you may find them useful too" rather than a full blog post The scratch image is the smallest possible image for docker. It does not contain any libraries nor other executables. It is simply a new, fresh and empty setup of namespaces. The FROM scratch line is even a no-op [1] in the Dockerfile, which results in that it will not create an extra layer in you image.
