## SocatContainer as a TCP proxy

`SocatContainer` enables any TCP port of another container to be exposed publicly.

```javascript
const network = await new Network().start();

const container = await new GenericContainer("testcontainers/helloworld:1.2.0")
.withExposedPorts(8080)
.withNetwork(network)
.withNetworkAliases("helloworld")
.start();

const socat = await new SocatContainer()
.withNetwork(network)
.withTarget(8081, "helloworld", 8080)
.start();

const socatUrl = `http://${socat.getHost()}:${socat.getMappedPort(8081)}`;

const response = await fetch(`${socatUrl}/ping`);

expect(response.status).toBe(200);
expect(await response.text()).toBe("PONG");
```

The example above starts a `testcontainers/helloworld` container and a `socat` container.
The `socat` container is configured to forward traffic from port `8081` to the `testcontainers/helloworld` container on port `8080`.

## Running commands
