Notes:

• It doesn't need root, it uses user nettools with uid 65500. If you need to deploy ports under 1024, you will need to change container execution user. For example, running traceroute may require open AF_INET socket or using icmp ping with nping will require root permissions too. Simply run container as root user:

$ docker run --rm --user=root frjaraur/nettools:small \
traceroute www.google.com

$ docker run --rm  --user=root frjaraur/nettools:small \
nping --icmp www.google.com
