I made a walkthrough video for anyone who wants to run Kali Linux in a more lightweight, consistent way using Docker.
The video covers:
- Installing Kali Linux via Docker
- Avoiding the “it works on my machine” issue
- Creating your own custom Docker image
- Setting up file share between host and container
It’s a solid way to practice hacking without spinning up a whole VM — and great for anyone doing tutorials that require a Kali Linux instance, or folks who are starting out their penetration testing or bug bounty journey. At least for me, I was using a super bloated Kali Linux VM for many years …
If you have a better setup suggestion or advise that you want to share with others, please add them in the comments!
