Trayce – Network tab for Docker containers
Trayce (https://github.com/evanrolfe/trayce_gui) is an open source desktop application which monitors HTTP(S) traffic to Docker containers on your machine. It uses EBPF to achieve zero-configuration sniffing of TLS-encrypted traffic. As a backend developer I wanted something which was similar to Wireshark or the Chrome network tab, but which intercepted requests & responses to my containers for debugging in a local dev environment. Wireshark is a great tool but it seems more geared towards lower level networking tasks. When I'm developing APIs or microservices I dont care…
In plain words
Trayce is an open-source desktop application that monitors HTTP and HTTPS traffic to Docker containers on a local machine. It uses eBPF to automatically capture encrypted TLS traffic without manual configuration. Designed for backend developers building APIs and microservices, it provides an interface similar to browser developer tools or Wireshark but focuses specifically on application-level HTTP requests and responses rather than low-level networking details.

In the maker’s words, at launch
Trayce (https://github.com/evanrolfe/trayce_gui) is an open source desktop application which monitors HTTP(S) traffic to Docker containers on your machine. It uses EBPF to achieve zero-configuration sniffing of TLS-encrypted traffic. As a backend developer I wanted something which was similar to Wireshark or the Chrome network tab, but which intercepted requests & responses to my containers for debugging in a local dev environment. Wireshark is a great tool but it seems more geared towards lower level networking tasks. When I'm developing APIs or microservices I dont care about packets, I'm only concerned with HTTP requests and their responses. I also didn't want to have to configure a pre-shared master key to intercept TLS, I wanted it to work out-of-the-box. Trayce is in beta phase so feedback is very welcome, bug reports too. The frontend GUI is written in Python with the QT framework. The TrayceAgent which is what does the intercepting of traffic is written in Go and EBPF.

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
