# Use a container to implement a serial to net bridge
This uses `ncat` by [namp](https://nmap.org/ncat/) to bridge a serial port to a network port. The serial port is passed to the Podman command (eg. `/dev/ttyUSB0`) and the network port is `2560`.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Other variants of `nc` or `ncat` may not work as expected.
## Build and run the container
```bash
$ podman buil -t dcc/bridge .
$ podman run -d --device=/dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/arduino -p 2560:2560 --name dcc-bridge dcc/bridge
```
It can be tested with `telnet`:
```bash
$ telnet localhost 2560
```
