The default Envoy docker image comes with an example configuration that:

• listens on 127.0.0.1:9901 with an admin interface
• proxies http 0.0.0.0:10000 to https www.google.com

Running this with

docker run -it --rm -p 10000:10000 -p 9901:9901 envoyproxy/envoy:v1.16.0

...and browsing to http://localhost:PORT neither works very well.

The admin doesnt work at all out-of-the-box because its listening to 127.0.0.1

The google proxy creates an overlay with a spinning wheel and borks (im guessing that playing with eg /etc/resolv.conf it might work differently)

I would propose that we change and/or document the admin UI

For the proxy, how about we proxy to the www.envoyproxy.io website
