Installation

The recommended way to install docker.el is through MELPA.

Here is a example use-package configuration:

(use-package docker
  :ensure t
  :bind ("C-c d" . docker))

Quickstart

Use M-x docker, select a resource then then mark or unmark items using the following keybindings (for more marking possibilities, check out https://github.com/politza/tablist):

Binding	Description
?	List actions
l	Configure listing
m	Mark item
u	Unmark item
t	Toggle marks
U	Unmark all
s	Sort
* r	Mark items by regexp
<	Shrink column
>	Enlarge column
C-c C-e	Export to csv

Then select an action and follow the popup instructions.

Supported commands

• docker container: cp, diff, inspect, kill, logs, pause, rename, restart, rm, start, stop, unpause
• docker image: inspect, pull, push, rm, tag
• docker network: rm
• docker volume: rm
• docker-machine: create, env, restart, rm, start, stop
• docker-compose: build, create, logs, pull, push, remove, restart, run, start, stop, up

Customizations

Popups

Thanks to magit-popup, all the popups default arguments can be customized. For example, here is how to customize the arguments for docker-image-run-popup:

(setq docker-image-run-arguments '("-i" "-t" "--rm"))

or inside a use-package declaration:

(use-package docker
  :ensure t
  :bind ("C-c d" . docker)
  :custom (docker-image-run-arguments '("-i" "-t" "--rm")))

You can also customize these using M-x customize-variable.

FAQ

How to use docker-machine under OSX?

The following configuration is required (some of it can probably be simplified by using https://github.com/purcell/exec-path-from-shell).

(setenv "PATH" (concat (getenv "PATH") ":/usr/local/bin"))
(setq exec-path (append exec-path '("/usr/local/bin")))
;; Use "docker-machine env box" command to find out your environment variables
(setenv "DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY" "1")
(setenv "DOCKER_HOST" "tcp://10.11.12.13:2376")
(setenv "DOCKER_CERT_PATH" "/Users/foo/.docker/machine/machines/box")
(setenv "DOCKER_MACHINE_NAME" "box")
