go-dockerclient

This package presents a client for the Docker remote API. It also provides support for the extensions in the Swarm API.

For more details, check the remote API documentation.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/dcbw/go-dockerclient-dcbw"
)

func main() {
	endpoint := "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"
	client, _ := docker.NewClient(endpoint)
	imgs, _ := client.ListImages(docker.ListImagesOptions{All: false})
	for _, img := range imgs {
		fmt.Println("ID: ", img.ID)
		fmt.Println("RepoTags: ", img.RepoTags)
		fmt.Println("Created: ", img.Created)
		fmt.Println("Size: ", img.Size)
		fmt.Println("VirtualSize: ", img.VirtualSize)
		fmt.Println("ParentId: ", img.ParentID)
	}
}

Using with TLS

In order to instantiate the client for a TLS-enabled daemon, you should use NewTLSClient, passing the endpoint and path for key and certificates as parameters.

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/dcbw/go-dockerclient-dcbw"
)

func main() {
	endpoint := "tcp://[ip]:[port]"
	path := os.Getenv("DOCKER_CERT_PATH")
	ca := fmt.Sprintf("%s/ca.pem", path)
	cert := fmt.Sprintf("%s/cert.pem", path)
	key := fmt.Sprintf("%s/key.pem", path)
	client, _ := docker.NewTLSClient(endpoint, cert, key, ca)
	// use client
}

If using docker-machine, or another application that exports environment variables DOCKER_HOST, DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY, DOCKER_CERT_PATH, you can use NewClientFromEnv.

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/dcbw/go-dockerclient-dcbw"
)

func main() {
	client, _ := docker.NewClientFromEnv()
	// use client
}

See the documentation for more details.

Developing

All development commands can be seen in the Makefile.

Commited code must pass:

• golint
• go vet
• gofmt
• go test

Running make test will check all of these. If your editor does not automatically call gofmt, make fmt will format all go files in this repository.
