**Purpose:** Docker and Kubernetes network troubleshooting can become complex. With proper understanding of how Docker and Kubernetes networking works and the right set of tools, you can troubleshoot and resolve these networking issues. The `netshoot` container has a set of powerful networking troubleshooting tools that can be used to troubleshoot Docker networking issues. Along with these tools come a set of use-cases that show how this container can be used in real-world scenarios.
**Network Namespaces:** Before starting to use this tool, it's important to go over one key topic: **Network Namespaces**. Network namespaces provide isolation of the system resources associated with networking. Docker uses network and other type of namespaces (`pid`,`mount`,`user`..etc) to create an isolated environment for each container. Everything from interfaces, routes, and IPs is completely isolated within the network namespace of the container.
Kubernetes also uses network namespaces. Kubelets creates a network namespace per pod where all containers in that pod share that same network namespace (eths,IP, tcp sockets...etc). This is a key difference between Docker containers and Kubernetes pods.
Cool thing about namespaces is that you can switch between them. You can enter a different container's network namespace, perform some troubleshooting on its network's stack with tools that aren't even installed on that container. Additionally, `netshoot` can be used to troubleshoot the host itself by using the host's network namespace. This allows you to perform any troubleshooting without installing any new packages directly on the host or your application's package.
## Netshoot with Docker
* **Container's Network Namespace:** If you're having networking issues with your application's container, you can launch `netshoot` with that container's network namespace like this:
`$ docker run -it --net container:<container_name> nicolaka/netshoot`
* **Host's Network Namespace:** If you think the networking issue is on the host itself, you can launch `netshoot` with that host's network namespace:
`$ docker run -it --net host nicolaka/netshoot`
* **Network's Network Namespace:** If you want to troubleshoot a Docker network, you can enter the network's namespace using `nsenter`. This is explained in the `nsenter` section below.
## Netshoot with Docker Compose
You can easily deploy `netshoot` using Docker Compose using something like this:
```
version: "3.6"
services:
tcpdump:
image: nicolaka/netshoot
depends_on:
- nginx
command: tcpdump -i eth0 -w /data/nginx.pcap
network_mode: service:nginx
volumes:
- $PWD/data:/data
nginx:
image: nginx:alpine
ports:
- 80:80
```
## Netshoot with Kubernetes
* if you want to debug using an [ephemeral container](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/debug/debug-application/debug-running-pod/#ephemeral-container-example) in an existing pod:
`$ kubectl debug mypod -it --image=nicolaka/netshoot`
* if you want to spin up a throw away pod for debugging.
`$ kubectl run tmp-shell --rm -i --tty --image nicolaka/netshoot`
* if you want to spin up a container on the host's network namespace.
`$ kubectl run tmp-shell --rm -i --tty --overrides='{"spec": {"hostNetwork": true}}' --image nicolaka/netshoot`
* if you want to use netshoot as a sidecar container to troubleshoot your application container

Welcome to Netshoot! (github.com/nicolaka/netshoot)
nginx-netshoot-7f9c6957f8-kr8q6 $
```
## The netshoot kubectl plugin
To easily troubleshoot networking issues in your k8s environment, you can leverage the [Netshoot Kubectl Plugin](https://github.com/nilic/kubectl-netshoot) (shout out to Nebojsa Ilic for creating it!). Using this kubectl plugin, you can easily create ephemeral `netshoot` containers to troubleshoot existing pods, k8s controller or worker nodes. To install the plugin, follow [these steps](https://github.com/nilic/kubectl-netshoot#installation).
Sample Usage:
```
# spin up a throwaway pod for troubleshooting
kubectl netshoot run tmp-shell
# debug using an ephemeral container in an existing pod
kubectl netshoot debug my-existing-pod
# create a debug session on a node
kubectl netshoot debug node/my-node
```
**Network Problems**
Many network issues could result in application performance degradation. Some of those issues could be related to the underlying networking infrastructure(underlay). Others could be related to misconfiguration at the host or Docker level. Let's take a look at common networking issues:
* latency
* routing
* DNS resolution
* firewall
* incomplete ARPs
To troubleshoot these issues, `netshoot` includes a set of powerful tools as recommended by this diagram.

## **Sample Use-cases**
### iperf
Purpose: test networking performance between two containers/hosts.
Example:
```
$ docker network create -d bridge perf-test
$ docker run -d --rm --net perf-test --name perf-test-a nicolaka/netshoot iperf -s -p 9999
$ docker run -it --rm --net perf-test --name perf-test-b nicolaka/netshoot iperf -c perf-test-a -p 9999
```
### tcpdump
**tcpdump** is a powerful and common packet analyzer that runs under the command line. It allows the user to display TCP/IP and other packets being transmitted or received over an attached network interface.
```
$ docker run -it --net container:perf-test-a nicolaka/netshoot
/ # tcpdump -i eth0 port 9999 -c 1 -Xvv
```
### netstat
Purpose: `netstat` is a useful tool for checking your network configuration and activity.
```
$ docker run -it --net container:perf-test-a nicolaka/netshoot
/ # netstat -tulpn
```
### nmap
`nmap` ("Network Mapper") is an open source tool for network exploration and security auditing. It is very useful for scanning to see which ports are open between a given set of hosts.
```
$ docker run -it --privileged nicolaka/netshoot nmap -p 12376-12390 -dd 172.31.24.25
```
### iftop
Purpose: iftop does for network usage what top does for CPU usage. It listens to network traffic on a named interface and displays a table of current bandwidth usage by pairs of hosts.
```
$ docker run -it --net container:perf-test-a nicolaka/netshoot iftop -i eth0
```
### drill
Purpose: drill is a tool to designed to get all sorts of information out of the DNS.
```
$ docker run -it --net container:perf-test-a nicolaka/netshoot drill -V 5 perf-test-b
```
### netcat
Purpose: a simple Unix utility that reads and writes data across network connections, using the TCP or UDP protocol. It's useful for testing and troubleshooting TCP/UDP connections. `netcat` can be used to detect if there's a firewall rule blocking certain ports.
```
$ docker network create -d bridge my-br
$ docker run -d --rm --net my-br --name service-a nicolaka/netshoot nc -l 8080
$ docker run -it --rm --net my-br --name service-b nicolaka/netshoot nc -vz service-a 8080
```
### iproute2
Purpose: a collection of utilities for controlling TCP / IP networking and traffic control in Linux.
```
$ docker run -it --net host nicolaka/netshoot
/ # ip route show
/ # ip neigh show
```
### nsenter
Purpose: `nsenter` is a powerful tool allowing you to enter into any namespaces. `nsenter` is available inside `netshoot` but requires `netshoot` to be run as a privileged container. Additionally, you may want to mount the `/var/run/docker/netns` directory to be able to enter any network namespace including bridge networks.
```
$ docker run -it --rm -v /var/run/docker/netns:/var/run/docker/netns --privileged=true nicolaka/netshoot
/ # cd /var/run/docker/netns/
/var/run/docker/netns # ls
/ # nsenter --net=/var/run/docker/netns/<namespace> sh
```
### CTOP
ctop is a free open source, simple and cross-platform top-like command-line tool for monitoring container metrics in real-time. It allows you to get an overview of metrics concerning CPU, memory, network, I/O for multiple containers and also supports inspection of a specific container.
```
$ docker run -it --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock nicolaka/netshoot ctop
```
### Termshark
Termshark is a terminal user-interface for tshark. It allows user to read pcap files or sniff live interfaces with Wireshark's display filters.
```
$ docker run --rm --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --cap-add=NET_RAW -it nicolaka/netshoot termshark -i eth0 icmp
$ docker run --rm --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --cap-add=NET_RAW -v /tmp/ipv4frags.pcap:/tmp/ipv4frags.pcap -it nicolaka/netshoot termshark -r /tmp/ipv4frags.pcap
```
### Swaks
Swaks (Swiss Army Knife for SMTP) is a featureful, flexible, scriptable, transaction-oriented SMTP test tool. It is free to use and licensed under the GNU GPLv2.
```
swaks --to user@example.com \
--from fred@example.com --h-From: '"Fred Example" <fred@example.com>' \
--auth CRAM-MD5 --auth-user me@example.com \
--header-X-Test "test email" \
--tls \
--data "Example body"

Feel free to contribute networking troubleshooting tools and use-cases by opening PRs. If you would like to add any package, please follow these steps:
* In the PR, please include some rationale as to why this tool is useful to be included in netshoot.
> Note: If the functionality of the tool is already addressed by an existing tool, I might not accept the PR
* Change the Dockerfile to include the new package/tool
* If you're building the tool from source, make sure you leverage the multi-stage build process and update the `build/fetch_binaries.sh` script
* Update the README's list of included packages AND include a section on how to use the tool
* If the tool you're adding supports multi-platform, please make sure you highlight that.
