A Python library for the Docker Engine API.
Project description
A Python library for the Docker Engine API. It lets you do anything the docker command does, but from within Python apps – run containers, manage containers, manage Swarms, etc.
Installation
The latest stable version is available on PyPI. Either add docker to your requirements.txt file or install with pip:
pip install docker
If you are intending to connect to a docker host via TLS, add docker[tls] to your requirements instead, or install with pip:
pip install docker[tls]
Usage
Connect to Docker using the default socket or the configuration in your environment:
import docker
client = docker.from_env()
You can run containers:
>>> client.containers.run("ubuntu:latest", "echo hello world")
'hello world\n'
You can run containers in the background:
>>> client.containers.run("bfirsh/reticulate-splines", detach=True)
<Container '45e6d2de7c54'>
You can manage containers:
>>> client.containers.list()
[<Container '45e6d2de7c54'>, <Container 'db18e4f20eaa'>, ...]
>>> container = client.containers.get('45e6d2de7c54')
>>> container.attrs['Config']['Image']
"bfirsh/reticulate-splines"
>>> container.logs()
"Reticulating spline 1...\n"
>>> container.stop()
You can stream logs:
>>> for line in container.logs(stream=True):
... print line.strip()
Reticulating spline 2...
Reticulating spline 3...
...
You can manage images:
>>> client.images.pull('nginx')
<Image 'nginx'>
>>> client.images.list()
[<Image 'ubuntu'>, <Image 'nginx'>, ...]
