Setup server

mkdir ~/shadowsocks-server/
cd ~/shadowsocks-server/
nano docker-compose.yml

Server without UDP support (good enough)

version: '3.5'
services:
  shadowsocks-server:
    container_name: shadowsocks-server
    image: shadowsocks-server
    build:
      context: ./
      dockerfile: dockerfile
    ports:
      - "8488:8488"
    command: ["go-shadowsocks2", "-s", "ss://AEAD_CHACHA20_POLY1305:[email protected]:8488"]
    restart: always

Server with UDP support

Setup client

The client side is actually a SOCKS5 proxy server running on your local computer.

mkdir ~/shadowsocks-client/
cd ~/shadowsocks-client/
nano docker-compose.yml

version: '3.5'
services:
  shadowsocks-client:
    container_name: shadowsocks-client
    image: shadowsocks-client
    build:
      context: ./
      dockerfile: dockerfile
    ports:
      - "1080:1080/tcp"
    command: ["go-shadowsocks2", "-c", "ss://AEAD_CHACHA20_POLY1305:YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE@SERVER_IP:8488", "-socks", "0.0.0.0:1080"]
    restart: always

Remember to change YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE.

cd ~/shadowsocks-client/
nano dockerfile

FROM golang:alpine
RUN apk add git
RUN go get -u -v github.com/shadowsocks/go-shadowsocks2

Start the client.

cd ~/shadowsocks-client/
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose ps
