A NodeJS wrapper for Docker.io

docker.io

Node.JS wrapper for low-level Docker.io HTTP interface

Changes

0.9.2

- Streams! APIs that have a streaming response, docker.io returns a Stream object now!
- Now has support for ALL API  endpoints
- Attach endpoint now works again
- Known issues: attach still needs to be updated for the new API
- TODO: next version will support websockets for a better attach API expearence

Usage

Using unix sockets (most secure)

// Sockets are used by default.
var docker = require('docker.io')({ socketPath: '/var/run/docker.sock' });

Using TCP connection

// You must specify socketPath: false to indicate you want to use TCP connections.
var docker = require('docker.io')({ socketPath: false, host: 'http://localhost', port: '4243'});

The defaults for the connection options are:

• socketPath: /var/run/docker.sock
• host: http://localhost
• port: 4243

API calls

Here is an example API call, more examples can be found here

var options = {}; // all options listed in the REST documentation for Docker are supported.

docker.containers.list(options /* optional*/, function(err, res) {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log("data returned from Docker as JS object: ", res);
});
