An API client for docker written in Python

API

docker.Client(base_url='http://localhost:4243', version="1.3")
Client class. base_url refers to the protocol+hostname+port where the docker server is hosted. Version is the version of the API the client will use.

• c.build(path=None, tag=None, quiet=False, fileobj=None)
  Similar to the docker build command. Either path or fileobj needs to be set. path can be a local path (to a directory containing a Dockerfile) or a remote URL. fileobj must be a readable file-like object to a Dockerfile.

• c.commit(container, repository=None, tag=None, message=None, author=None, conf=None)
  Identical to the docker commit command.

• c.containers(quiet=False, all=False, trunc=True, latest=False, since=None, before=None, limit=-1)
  Identical to the docker ps command.

• c.create_container(image, command, hostname=None, user=None, detach=False, stdin_open=False, tty=False, mem_limit=0, ports=None, environment=None, dns=None, volumes=None, volumes_from=None)
  Creates a container that can then be started. Parameters are similar to those for the docker run command except it doesn't support the attach options (-a)

• c.diff(container)
  Identical to the docker diff command.

• c.export(container)
  Identical to the docker export command.

• c.history(image)
  Identical to the docker history command.

• c.images(name=None, quiet=False, all=False, viz=False)
  Identical to the docker images command.

• c.import_image(src, repository=None, tag=None)
  Identical to the docker import command. If src is a string or unicode string, it will be treated as a URL to fetch the image from. To import an image from the local machine, src needs to be a file-like object or bytes collection.

• c.info()
  Identical to the docker info command.

• c.insert(url, path)
  Identical to the docker insert command.

• c.inspect_container(container_id)
  Identical to the docker inspect command, but can only be used with a container ID.

• c.inspect_image(container_id)
  Identical to the docker inspect command, but can only be used with an image ID.

• c.kill(containers...)
  Identical to the docker kill command.

• c.login(username, password=None, email=None)
  Identical to the docker login command (but non-interactive, obviously).

• c.logs(container)
  Identical to the docker logs command.

• c.port(container, private_port)
  Identical to the docker port command.

• c.pull(repository, tag=None, registry=None)
  Identical to the docker pull command.

• c.push(repository)
  Identical to the docker push command.

• c.remove_container(containers..., v=False)
  Identical to the docker rm command.

• c.remove_image(images...)
  Identical to the docker rmi command.

• c.restart(containers..., t=10)
  Identical to the docker restart command.

• c.search(term)
  Identical to the docker search command.

• c.start(container)
  Identical to the docker start command, but doesn't support attach options. Use docker logs to recover stdout/stderr

• c.start(container, binds={'/host': '/mnt'})
  Allows to bind a directory in the host to the container. Similar to the docker run command with the -b="/host:/mnt". Requires the container to be created with the volumes argument: c.create_container(..., volumes={'/mnt': {}})

• c.stop(containers..., t=10)
  Identical to the docker stop command.

• c.tag(image, repository, tag=None, force=False)
  Identical to the docker tag command.

• c.version()
  Identical to the docker version command.

• c.wait(containers...)
  Identical to the docker wait command.
