UDP Relay receives UDP packets and forward it to specified IP-address or broadcast. It was made to answer the need to send broadcast UDP-packets (such as wake-on-lan) from a docker container. I found it quite complicated to setup forwarding udp broadcast from docker to external world and after many attempts wrote this tool.
There are 2 options.
Options 1 (NOT SUPPORTED YET)
Setup 2 intstances oof UDP Relay: one inside docker container, second - outside.
Option s
Setup UDP Relay outside docker container and set your application sent direct UDP packets to UDP Relay.
- This is alpha version - the most of the featres are not yet implemented :-)
- It supports only option 2 usage
- Only port 9 and only broadcast to 255.255.255.255
