Dockerex

Dockerex is a lightweight Docker Remote API Client for Elixir that supports SSL connection to a Docker Host or a Docker Swarm manager.

Dockerex is tested against latest Docker Remote API v1.24.

Installation

The package can be installed as:

1. Add dockerex to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

  def deps do
    [{:dockerex, "~> 0.1.0"}]
  end

1. Ensure dockerex is started before your application:

  def application do
    [applications: [:dockerex]]
  end

1. Config your docker host in config.exs

  config :dockerex,
  host: "https://10.10.10.1:2376/",
  options: [
    ssl:  [
      {:certfile, "/path/to/your/cert.pem"},
      {:keyfile, "/path/to/your/key.pem"}
    ]
  ]

You may also establish a connection to the docker engine over a unix socket. To do this, set the host variable in your config to "http+unix://PATH/". Note that PATH has to be URI-encoded, i.e. the default socket path would be %2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock.

Usage

Dockerex is a lightweight client, which means you need to specify the endpoint and original docker params in a map format. Before making any requests, you have to start the HTTP client by calling HTTPoison.start.

Some examples:

  result = Dockerex.Client.post("containers/create", %{"Image": "nginx",
                                                       "Tty": true,
                                                       "HostConfig": %{"RestartPolicy": %{ "Name": "always"}},
                                                       "Cmd": ["start.sh"]})

  cid = result["Id"]
  Dockerex.Client.post("containers/#{cid}/start")

  Dockerex.Client.post("containers/#{cid}/stop")

  Dockerex.Client.get("containers/#{cid}/logs?stderr=1&stdout=1&timestamps=0&since=#{DateTime.to_unix(DateTime.utc_now) - 5}")

  Dockerex.Client.delete("containers/#{cid}")
