Dockopotamus, a naive honeypot that uses docker

A shitty attempt at a honeypot/sandbox that uses docker - esell/dockopotamus

Dockopotamus, a naive honeypot that uses docker launched on November 1, 2016 with 13 votes, #1,583 of 3,636 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 9 years on.

In plain words

Dockopotamus is a naive honeypot implementation built with Docker, designed for developers and security researchers who want to set up deceptive systems to detect and study unauthorized access attempts. It leverages Docker's containerization to simplify deployment and management of honeypot environments. The tool is best suited for those learning about cybersecurity threats or monitoring for intrusion attempts in controlled settings.

    ohai! I've released Lightwhale 3, which is possibly the easiest way to self-host Docker containers. It's a free, immutable Linux system purpose-built to live-boot straight into a working Docker Engine, thereby shortcutting the need for installation, configuration, and maintenance. Its simple design makes it easy to learn, and its low memory footprint should make it especially attractive during these times of RAMageddon. If this has piqued your interest, do check it out, along with its easy-to-follow Getting Started guide. In any event, have a nice day! =)

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
