Docker SDK for Python

The docker python client supports asynchronous parallel access to containers.

Develop with Docker Engine SDKs Docker provides an API for interacting with the Docker daemon (called the Docker Engine API), as well as SDKs for Go and Python. The SDKs allow you to efficiently build and scale Docker apps and solutions. If Go or Python don't work for you, you can use the Docker Engine API directly.

Usage

1. Example docker run

import asyncio,time
import sys,os,json

from docker.containers import Containers

async def main():
    containers = Containers("172.16.80.42","2376")
    await containers.init_session()
    try:

        ret = await containers.run(params={ "name": "hello9"},body = {'Image': 'searxng/searxng:latest'})
        print(json.dumps(ret,ensure_ascii = False,indent=4))
        
    finally:
        await containers.close()

    
asyncio.run(main())

2. Example docker list

import asyncio,time
import sys,os,json

from  docker.containers  import Containers

async def main():
    containers = Containers("172.16.80.42","2376")
    await containers.init_session()
    try:
        ret = await containers.list(params = {"all":"true"})
        print(json.dumps(ret,ensure_ascii = False,indent=4))
        
    finally:
        await containers.close()

    
asyncio.run(main())
