Why not docker?

It looks like the traceroute operation within Dockerized environment that uses ICMP(Internet Control Message Protocol) for outbound traffic isn't technnically supported. Thus, I couldn't dockerize the service and I ask your generosity for this inconvenience.

Why did you make it?

I was bored, and this idea seemed to be fun, even though I suck at HTML/JS/CSS things.
