+# mitmproxy
+
+Containerized version of [mitmproxy](https://mitmproxy.org/), an interactive SSL-capable intercepting HTTP proxy.
+
+# Usage
+
+```sh
+$ docker run --rm -it [-v ~/.mitmproxy:/home/mitmproxy/.mitmproxy] -p 8080:8080 mitmproxy/mitmproxy
+```
+The *volume mount* is optional: It's to store the generated CA certificates.
+
+Once started, mitmproxy listens as a HTTP proxy on `localhost:8080`:
+```sh
+$ http_proxy=http://localhost:8080/ curl http://example.com/
+$ https_proxy=http://localhost:8080/ curl -k https://example.com/
+```
+
+You can also start `mitmdump` by just adding that to the end of the command-line:
+```sh
+$ docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 mitmproxy/mitmproxy mitmdump
+```
+
+For `mitmweb`, you also need to expose port 8081:
+```sh
+# this makes :8081 accessible to the local machine only
+$ docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 -p 127.0.0.1:8081:8081 mitmproxy/mitmproxy mitmweb --web-iface 0.0.0.0
+```
+
+You can also pass options directly via the CLI:
+```sh
+$ docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 mitmproxy/mitmproxy mitmdump --set ssl_insecure=true
+```
+
+For further details, please consult the mitmproxy [documentation](http://docs.mitmproxy.org/en/stable/).
