=========

An API client for docker written in Python

API
===

`docker.Client(base_url='unix://var/run/docker.sock', version="1.4")`
Client class. `base_url` refers to the protocol+hostname+port where the docker
server is hosted. Version is the version of the API the client will use.

* `c.build(path=None, tag=None, quiet=False, fileobj=None, nocache=False)`
Similar to the `docker build` command. Either `path` or `fileobj` needs to be
set. `path` can be a local path (to a directory containing a Dockerfile) or a
remote URL. `fileobj` must be a readable file-like object to a Dockerfile.

* `c.commit(container, repository=None, tag=None, message=None, author=None, conf=None)`
Identical to the `docker commit` command.

* `c.containers(quiet=False, all=False, trunc=True, latest=False, since=None, before=None, limit=-1)`
Identical to the `docker ps` command.

* `c.copy(container, resource)`
Identical to the `docker cp` command.

* `c.create_container(image, command, hostname=None, user=None, detach=False, stdin_open=False, tty=False, mem_limit=0, ports=None, environment=None, dns=None, volumes=None, volumes_from=None, privileged=False)`
Creates a container that can then be `start`ed. Parameters are similar to those
for the `docker run` command except it doesn't support the attach options
(`-a`)

* `c.diff(container)`
Identical to the `docker diff` command.

* `c.export(container)`
Identical to the `docker export` command.

* `c.history(image)`
Identical to the `docker history` command.

* `c.images(name=None, quiet=False, all=False, viz=False)`
Identical to the `docker images` command.

* `c.import_image(src, repository=None, tag=None)`
Identical to the `docker import` command. If `src` is a string or unicode
string, it will be treated as a URL to fetch the image from. To import an image
from the local machine, `src` needs to be a file-like object or bytes
collection.

* `c.info()`
Identical to the `docker info` command.

* `c.insert(url, path)`
Identical to the `docker insert` command.

* `c.inspect_container(container)`
Identical to the `docker inspect` command, but only for containers.

* `c.inspect_image(image_id)`
Identical to the `docker inspect` command, but only for images.

* `c.kill(container)`
Kill a container. Similar to the `docker kill` command.

* `c.login(username, password=None, email=None)`
Identical to the `docker login` command (but non-interactive, obviously).

* `c.logs(container)`
Identical to the `docker logs` command.

* `c.port(container, private_port)`
Identical to the `docker port` command.

* `c.pull(repository, tag=None, registry=None)`
Identical to the `docker pull` command.

* `c.push(repository)`
Identical to the `docker push` command.

* `c.remove_container(container, v=False)`
Remove a container. Similar to the `docker rm` command.

* `c.remove_image(image)`
Remove an image. Similar to the `docker rmi` command.

* `c.restart(container, timeout=10)`
Restart a container. Similar to the `docker restart` command.

* `c.search(term)`
Identical to the `docker search` command.

* `c.start(container, binds=None, lxc_conf=None)`
Similar to the `docker start` command, but doesn't support attach options.
Use `docker logs` to recover `stdout`/`stderr`
`binds` Allows to bind a directory in the host to the container.
Similar to the `docker run` command with option `-v="/host:/mnt"`.
Requires the container to be created with the volumes argument:
`c.create_container(..., volumes={'/mnt': {}})`
`lxc_conf` allows to pass LXC configuration options in dict form.

* `c.stop(container, timeout=10)`
Stops a container. Similar to the `docker stop` command.

* `c.tag(image, repository, tag=None, force=False)`
Identical to the `docker tag` command.

* `c.top(container_id)`
Identical to the `docker top` command.

* `c.version()`
Identical to the `docker version` command.

* `c.wait(container)`
Wait for a container and return its exit code. Similar to the `docker wait`
command.
