Using Socat instead of exposing :/var/run/docker.sock in Traefik

[pascaldes]

Hi,
You made an amazing job here! I think your best practices are on target.

About exposing the docker socket. I read in the past that it's best practice to use socat to expose the docker socket. Before writing a PR, would you consider using socat?

This is how I do it in my stack:

• https://github.com/pascalandy/docker-stack-this/blob/master/traefik_stack5/toolproxy.yml#L21
• https://github.com/pascalandy/docker-stack-this/blob/master/traefik_stack5/toolproxy.yml#L74

Also, if you feel this is useless, I'd like to know your opinions about it.

Cheers!

Hi @pascaldes ! I haven't read about socat as part of Docker best practices.

It seems those links are no longer available. Do you have any other reference?
