Adding ENV to use socket proxy #10
Description
It would be nice to also configure the agent to use a socket proxy like the main app can:
Swarmpits behavior can be reconfigured via Environment Variables.
SWARMPIT_DOCKER_SOCK
Docker SOCK location used by docker client. In case of socket proxy use following format: http://TCPENDPOINT:2375. Default is /var/run/docker.sock.
Thanks in advance, also for any hints, ideas, considersations in the meantime :)

Bump. Can someone on the swarmpit team point us in the right direction for a PR?

Looks like you might be able to do it just by setting the
DOCKER_HOSTenv varmrq1911 commentedon Aug 21, 2026
this already works — @kaysond was right. the agent builds its client with
client.NewEnvClient(), which readsDOCKER_HOST,DOCKER_API_VERSION,DOCKER_CERT_PATHandDOCKER_TLS_VERIFYfrom the env.so
DOCKER_HOST=tcp://proxy:2375(and drop the socket mount) works today, no code change. the proxy needs to allow containers-list, container-stats, events and logs. it was just never documented — #20 doesn't cover it, so i'll add it to the readme parameters list.
