Docker client library in Go

Docker client library in Go

Well maintained docker client library.

Example:

package main

import (
	"github.com/samalba/dockerclient"
	"log"
	"time"
)

// Callback used to listen to Docker's events
func eventCallback(event *dockerclient.Event, args ...interface{}) {
	log.Printf("Received event: %#v\n", *event)
}

func main() {
	// Init the client
	docker, _ := dockerclient.NewDockerClient("unix:///var/run/docker.sock", nil)

	// Get only running containers
	containers, err := docker.ListContainers(false)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	for _, c := range containers {
		log.Println(c.Id, c.Names)
	}

	// Inspect the first container returned
	if len(containers) > 0 {
		id := containers[0].Id
		info, _ := docker.InspectContainer(id)
		log.Println(info)
	}

	// Create a container
	containerConfig := &dockerclient.ContainerConfig{Image: "ubuntu:12.04", Cmd: []string{"bash"}}
	containerId, err := docker.CreateContainer(containerConfig)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	// Start the container
	err = docker.StartContainer(containerId)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	// Stop the container (with 5 seconds timeout)
	docker.StopContainer(containerId, 5)

	// Listen to events
	docker.StartMonitorEvents(eventCallback)
	time.Sleep(3600 * time.Second)
}
