My docker container did not come with and of the tools recommended when you google for listening ports: netstat, ss, lsof, or nmap. Copying and pasting the all in one after running docker exec -it /bin/bash worked. I was able to diagnose my problem as result. Thank you!

Awesome sauce.
Thanks for sharing!

Really useful script, thanks for sharing!
I've made a little addition to include TCP states, if anyone cares:

Thank you so much, I really appreciate you sharing these scripts

Thank you so much my friend, i was gonna bang my head into the wall for couple of weeks at least.... Its bad when you need to check network connections in a container without ss or netstat....

kubectl describe pod/xxxx,docker inspect xxxxxxxxxxxxx .

👍

very nice!
