Upgrade default version for Debian as 1.4.3

To build a socks5 server, we have lots of open-source programs to reach that, Dante is one of them. I have been using Dante for years and starting to write this auto-install and management script two years ago. This is the second update to match the systemd and new OS release like Debian 8 , CentOS 7.

Comparing with the apt-get or building from source manually, this script will benefit you bellow

• Auto-recognize, detect the machine's system automatically and compile from source code.
• Auto-config, check the system's network or read from argument to auto-generate config file.
• Same-rotation, in multi-ipaddr system. It works like when using different ip address to connect socks5, your external ip address will be different. That's the main reason why I using Dante for years.
• Multi-authorization, you can configure authorization by pam, system or using whitelist.
• Docker support [New]
• Support Dante Latest version 1.4.3 [New]

# sockd.passwd is a `htpasswd` file contains socks5 auth user/password.
docker run -d \
    --name sockd \
    --publish 2020:2020 \
    --volume sockd.passwd:/home/danted/conf/sockd.passwd \
    lozyme/sockd

#
# wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lozy/danted/dev/docker/docker-compose.yaml
#
version: '3'

services:

  sockd:
    image: lozyme/sockd
    container_name: sockd
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 2020:2020
    volumes:
      - sockd.passwd:/home/danted/conf/sockd.passwd
      # - sockd.conf:/home/danted/conf/sockd.conf

docker-compose up -d

ss -lnp | grep 2020

You should run bellow to change default password

docker exec sockd script/pam add sockd sockd

more command you could use

[Show]          $docker exec sockd script/pam show
[Add/Modify]    $docker exec sockd script/pam add USER PASSWORD
[Delete]        $docker exec sockd script/pam del USER

curl https://ifconfig.co --socks5 127.0.0.1:2020 --proxy-user sockd:sockd

wget --no-check-certificate https://raw.github.com/Lozy/danted/master/install.sh -O install.sh
bash install.sh

# run with options: bash install.sh option1 option2
bash install.sh --ip="A.A.A.A:B.B.B.B" --port=2016 --user=sockd --passwd=sockd --whitelist="X.X.X.X/32"

• if you want to uninstall, using this command

bash install.sh --uninstall

• if you want to add user

/etc/init.d/sockd adduser USERNAME PASSWORD
