linuxserver/wireshark
Wireshark is the world’s foremost and widely-used network protocol analyzer. It lets you see what’s happening on your network at a microscopic level and is the de facto (and often de jure) standard across many commercial and non-profit enterprises, government agencies, and educational institutions. Wireshark development thrives thanks to the volunteer contributions of networking experts around the globe and is the continuation of a project started by Gerald Combs in 1998.
Supported Architectures
We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/wireshark:latest should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
| Architecture | Available | Tag |
|---|---|---|
| x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-<version tag> |
| arm64 | ✅ | arm64v8-<version tag> |
| armhf | ✅ | arm32v7-<version tag> |
Application Setup
The application can be accessed at:
By default the user/pass is abc/abc, if you change your password or want to login manually to the GUI session for any reason use the following link:
In order to dump from an interface you will need to pass NET_ADMIN at a minimum, optionally you can use host networking to capture from your host level device or specify a Docker network you want to capture from.
If you do not specificy host networking you will need to map port 3000 with -p 3000:3000.
Usage
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.
docker-compose (recommended, click here for more info)
---
version: "2.1"
services:
wireshark:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/wireshark:latest
container_name: wireshark
cap_add:
- NET_ADMIN
network_mode: host
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Europe/London
volumes:
- /path/to/config:/config
ports:
- 3000:3000 #optional
restart: unless-stoppeddocker cli (click here for more info)
docker run -d \
--name=wireshark \
--net=host \
--cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-p 3000:3000 `#optional` \
-v /path/to/config:/config \
--restart unless-stopped \
lscr.io/linuxserver/wireshark:latestParameters
Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.
| Parameter | Function |
|---|---|
--net=host |
Use Host Networking |
-p 3000 |
WireShark desktop gui, only use this if you are not using host mode and sniffing Docker network traffic. |
-e PUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
-e PGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
-e TZ=Europe/London |
Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London. |
-v /config |
Users home directory in the container, stores program settings and potentially dump files. |
Portainer notice
This image utilises cap_add or sysctl to work properly. This is not implemented properly in some versions of Portainer, thus this image may not work if deployed through Portainer.
Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.
As an example:
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpasswordWill set the environment variable PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.
Umask for running applications
For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.
User / Group Identifiers
When using volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:
$ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)Docker Mods
We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
Support Info
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it wireshark /bin/bash - To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f wireshark - container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' wireshark
- image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/wireshark:latest
Updating Info
Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.
Below are the instructions for updating containers:
Via Docker Compose
- Update all images:
docker-compose pull- or update a single image:
docker-compose pull wireshark
- or update a single image:
- Let compose update all containers as necessary:
docker-compose up -d- or update a single container:
docker-compose up -d wireshark
- or update a single container:
- You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Via Docker Run
- Update the image:
docker pull lscr.io/linuxserver/wireshark:latest - Stop the running container:
docker stop wireshark - Delete the container:
docker rm wireshark - Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your
/configfolder and settings will be preserved) - You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Via Watchtower auto-updater (only use if you don't remember the original parameters)
-
Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one run:
docker run --rm \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ containrrr/watchtower \ --run-once wireshark
-
You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Note: We do not endorse the use of Watchtower as a solution to automated updates of existing Docker containers. In fact we generally discourage automated updates. However, this is a useful tool for one-time manual updates of containers where you have forgotten the original parameters. In the long term, we highly recommend using Docker Compose.
Image Update Notifications - Diun (Docker Image Update Notifier)
- We recommend Diun for update notifications. Other tools that automatically update containers unattended are not recommended or supported.
Building locally
If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:
git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-wireshark.git
cd docker-wireshark
docker build \
--no-cache \
--pull \
-t lscr.io/linuxserver/wireshark:latest .The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --resetOnce registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64.
