Sending a custom TLS server name indication (SNI), different from hostname in URL, using #curl:

curl --connect-to custom-server-name:443:host-or-ip-we-actually-connect-to:443 https://custom-server-name/...

When running a #docker container that outputs data on stdout which then gets piped to a host program (e.g. #streamlink in container piped to a video player on host system), it is a good idea to include the option "--log-driver none".

Otherwise the container's output gets saved to a json log inside /var/lib/docker, which can get pretty big pretty fast when watching a 1080p stream. 😅
