Docker
packaged smart DNS proxy to watch BBC iPlayer
outside of the UK using BIND
and sniproxy
[n1]. This is a somewhat outdated clone of my other project, called netflix-proxy. Please try to use that project instead, as this one won't be maintained.
The following is based on a standard Ubuntu Docker application image provided by DigitalOcean
, but should in theory work on any Linux distribution with Docker pre-installed.
- Head over to Digital Ocean to get $10 USD credit to create a Docker VM
- Create a
Droplet
usingDocker 1.6.2
onUbuntu 14.04
(find in under Applications images). - Make sure you create the
Droplet
in the UK (LON) data center. - SSH to your
Droplet
and run the following command.. cd /opt && git clone https://github.com/ab77/iplayer-proxy.git && cd iplayer-proxy && ./build.sh
- Point your DNS at the Droplet IP to watch content avialable on
BBC iPlayer
regardless of which country you are in. - Enjoy!
