Wget Over SOCKS5 Example

This example runs an external client, three Nextmini dataplane nodes, and an external server in one Docker network. The configured routes in examples/wget/controller-config.toml are [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]. The client script repeatedly fetches http://172.16.8.8:8080/file.txt through SOCKS5 proxy 172.16.8.5:8081.

From the repository root:

cd examples/wget
docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml build
docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml up

In another terminal, verify the client sees successful downloads:

cd examples/wget
docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml logs -f external_client

A healthy run shows Download completed. File content: Hello from Nextmini!.

You can also verify the server is serving the file and receiving requests:

docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml logs -f external_server

Look for GET /file.txt HTTP/1.1" 200.

To verify the SOCKS proxy settings baked into the client image:

docker exec external_client cat /etc/proxychains.conf

Stop the example:

docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml down
