One of the most common questions from users migrating from tecnativa/docker-socket-proxy or linuxserver/docker-socket-proxy is how to translate an existing environment-variable based configuration into the regular-expression based allowlists used by socket-proxy.

While wollomatic/socket-proxy is designed to provide more flexibility and finer-grained control over Docker API access, this flexibility comes at the cost of a more complex configuration model.

A simple configuration such as:

environment:
  - CONTAINERS=1
  - EVENTS=1
  - PING=1
  - VERSION=1

needs to be translated into the corresponding regular expressions that match the Docker API endpoints required by those permissions.
