hi,
for command line applications you can export some environment variables such as
but if you want to transparently proxy everything inside the container you're better off using some kind of VPN instead, as it's possible that some applications will not respect the environment variables.
there are some ways to do what you want but it still would take some complicated setups to accomplish that

In my scenario I have a few gateways I need to reliably monitor and one of them is a SOCKS5 proxy. I have seen some things about Docker kind of facilitating this, but I have been hitting a barrier with LXCs on Proxmox. Basically I have a nodejs app that I need to run that will ping various nodes on the network to test reliability.
