This gem provides an object-oriented interface to the Docker Remote API. Every method listed there is implemented, with the exception of attaching to the STDIN of a Container. At the time of this writing, docker-api is meant to interface with Docker version 0.9.*.
If you're interested in using Docker to package your apps, we recommend the dockly gem. Dockly provides a simple DSL for describing Docker containers that install as Debian packages and are controlled by upstart scripts.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'docker-api', :require => 'docker'And then run:
$ bundle installAlternatively, if you wish to just use the gem in a script, you can run:
$ gem install docker-apiFinally, just add require 'docker' to the top of the file using this gem.
docker-api is designed to be very lightweight. Almost no state is cached (aside from id's which are immutable) to ensure that each method call's information is up to date. As such, just about every external method represents an API call.
Follow the installation instructions, and then run:
$ sudo docker -dThis will daemonize Docker so that it can be used for the remote API calls.
If you're running Docker locally as a socket, there is no setup to do in Ruby. If you're not or change the path of the socket, you'll have to point the gem to your socket or local/remote port. For example:
Docker.url = 'http://example.com:5422'Two things to note here. The first is that this gem uses excon, so any of the options that are valid for Excon.new are also valid for Docker.options. Second, by default Docker runs on a socket. The gem will assume you want to connect to the socket unless you specify otherwise.
Also, you may set the above variables via ENV variables. For example:
$ DOCKER_URL=unix:///var/docker.sock irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'docker'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> Docker.url
=> "unix:///var/docker.sock"
irb(main):003:0> Docker.options
=> {}$ DOCKER_URL=http://example.com:1000 irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'docker'
=> true
irb(main):003:0> Docker.url
=> "http://example.com:1000"
irb(main):004:0> Docker.options
=> {}Before doing anything else, ensure you have the correct version of the Docker API. To do this, run Docker.validate_version!. If your installed version is not supported, a Docker::Error::VersionError is raised.
All of the following examples require a connection to a Docker server. See the Starting up section above for more information.

Docker.authenticate!('username' => 'docker-fan-boi', 'password' => 'i<3docker', 'email' => '[email protected]')
# => trueJust about every method here has a one-to-one mapping with the Images section of the API. If an API call accepts query parameters, these can be passed as an Hash to it's corresponding method. Also, note that Docker::Image.new is a private method, so you must use .create, .build, .build_from_dir, or .import to make an instance.

require 'docker'
Docker::Container.all({}, Docker::Connection.new('http://example.com:4243', {}))To create images through rake, a DSL task is provided. For example:
require 'rake'
require 'docker'
image 'repo:tag' do
image = Docker::Image.create('fromImage' => 'repo', 'tag' => 'old_tag')
image = Docker::Image.run('rm -rf /etc').commit
