What is it ?

On top of docker, pydocktors is a simple way to declare a decorator to start and shutdown a docker container.

Why to use it ?

You can use it anywhere you want in your python code ! This include test and code…

For example, if you have a application that require a database (for example, MySQL or Neo4J) but you don’t want to install the database globally on your system, you can use the docker decorator !

Or you may need to load a application such as Nginx or Eureka when running your code locally without installing it, this docker decorator is made for you !

Examples

All of them are also available in the examples. Each example are designed to be independent.

Starting a Nginx with a your content and your configuration:

@docktors.docker(
    inject_arg=True,
    image='nginx',
    ports=[(80, 8080)],
    volumes=[
        (TARGET_DIR, '/usr/share/nginx/html', 'ro'),
        (NGINX_CONF, '/etc/nginx/nginx.conf', 'ro')
    ],
    wait_for_port=8080,
)
def main(container):
    logger.info(
        'Nginx container with id %s is %s. Visit http://localhost:8080/',
        container.id, container.status
    )
