Not another Node.js Docker Remote API module.
dockerode objectives:
dockerode does NOT break any stream, it passes them to you allowing for some stream voodoo.dockerode allow you to seamless run commands in a container ala docker run.dockerode really aims to have a good test set, allowing to follow Docker changes easily, quickly and painlessly.Docker Remote API features implemented and tested.npm install dockerode
To use dockerode first you need to instantiate it:
var Docker = require('dockerode');
var docker = new Docker({socketPath: '/var/run/docker.sock'});
var docker1 = new Docker(); //defaults to above if env variables are not used
var docker2 = new Docker({host: 'http://192.168.1.10', port: 3000});
var docker3 = new Docker({protocol:'http', host: '127.0.0.1', port: 3000});
var docker4 = new Docker({host: '127.0.0.1', port: 3000}); //defaults to http
//protocol http vs https is automatically detected
var docker5 = new Docker({
host: '192.168.1.10',
port: process.env.DOCKER_PORT || 2375,
ca: fs.readFileSync('ca.pem'),
cert: fs.readFileSync('cert.pem'),
key: fs.readFileSync('key.pem'),
version: 'v1.25' // required when Docker >= v1.13, https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/version-history/
});
var docker6 = new Docker({
protocol: 'https', //you can enforce a protocol
host: '192.168.1.10',
port: process.env.DOCKER_PORT || 2375,
ca: fs.readFileSync('ca.pem'),
cert: fs.readFileSync('cert.pem'),
key: fs.readFileSync('key.pem')
});
//using a different promise library (default is the native one)
var docker7 = new Docker({
Promise: require('bluebird')
//...
});
//...
// create a container entity. does not query API
var container = docker.getContainer('71501a8ab0f8');
// query API for container info
container.inspect(function (err, data) {
console.log(data);
});
container.start(function (err, data) {
console.log(data);
});
container.remove(function (err, data) {
console.log(data);
});
// promises are supported
var auxContainer;
docker.createContainer({
Image: 'ubuntu',
AttachStdin: false,
AttachStdout: true,
AttachStderr: true,
Tty: true,
Cmd: ['/bin/bash', '-c', 'tail -f /var/log/dmesg'],
OpenStdin: false,
StdinOnce: false
}).then(function(container) {
auxContainer = container;
return auxContainer.start();
}).then(function(data) {
return auxContainer.resize({
h: process.stdout.rows,
w: process.stdout.columns
});
}).then(function(data) {
return auxContainer.stop();
}).then(function(data) {
return auxContainer.remove();
}).then(function(data) {
console.log('container removed');
}).catch(function(err) {
console.log(err);
});
You may also specify default options for each container's operations, which will always be used for the specified container and operation.
container.defaultOptions.start.Binds = ["/tmp:/tmp:rw"];
docker.listContainers(function (err, containers) {
containers.forEach(function (containerInfo) {
docker.getContainer(containerInfo.Id).stop(cb);
});
});
Context: provides the path to the Dockerfile. Additionaly files that are involved in the build must be explicitly mentioned in src array, since they are sent to a temp env to build. Example: file for COPY command are extracted from that temporary environment.
docker.buildImage('archive.tar', {t: imageName}, function (err, response){
//...
});
docker.buildImage({
context: __dirname,
src: ['Dockerfile', 'file1', 'file2']
}, {t: imageName}, function (err, response) {
//...
});
buildImage returns a Promise of NodeJS stream. In case you want to find out when the build has finished, you must follow the progress of the build with the modem instance in dockerode:
let dockerode = new Dockerode();
let stream = await dockerode.buildImage(...);
await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
dockerode.modem.followProgress(stream, (err, res) => err ? reject(err) : resolve(res));
});
// Build has finished
docker.createContainer({Image: 'ubuntu', Cmd: ['/bin/bash'], name: 'ubuntu-test'}, function (err, container) {
container.start(function (err, data) {
//...
});
});
//...
//tty:true
docker.createContainer({ /*...*/ Tty: true /*...*/ }, function(err, container) {
/* ... */
container.attach({stream: true, stdout: true, stderr: true}, function (err, stream) {
stream.pipe(process.stdout);
});
/* ... */
});
//tty:false
docker.createContainer({ /*...*/ Tty: false /*...*/ }, function(err, container) {
/* ... */
container.attach({stream: true, stdout: true, stderr: true}, function (err, stream) {
//dockerode may demultiplex attach streams for you :)
container.modem.demuxStream(stream, process.stdout, process.stderr);
});
/* ... */
});
docker.createImage({fromImage: 'ubuntu'}, function (err, stream) {
stream.pipe(process.stdout);
});
//...
There is also support for HTTP connection hijacking, which allows for cleaner interactions with commands that work with stdin and stdout separately.
docker.createContainer({Tty: false, /*... other options */}, function(err, container) {
container.start(function(err) {
container.exec({Cmd: ['shasum', '-'], AttachStdin: true, AttachStdout: true}, function(err, exec) {
exec.start({hijack: true, stdin: true}, function(err, stream) {
// shasum can't finish until after its stdin has been closed, telling it that it has
// read all the bytes it needs to sum. Without a socket upgrade, there is no way to
// close the write-side of the stream without also closing the read-side!
fs.createReadStream('node-v5.1.0.tgz', 'binary').pipe(stream);
// Fortunately, we have a regular TCP socket now, so when the readstream finishes and closes our
// stream, it is still open for reading and we will still get our results :-)
docker.modem.demuxStream(stream, process.stdout, process.stderr);
});
});
});
});
docker run in dockerode:image - container imagecmd - command to be executedstream - stream(s) which will be used for execution output.create_options - (optional) Options used for container creation. Refer to the DockerEngine ContainerCreate documentation for the possible valuesstart_options - (optional) Options used for container start. Refer to the DockerEngine ContainerStart documentation for the possible valuescallback - callback called when execution ends (optional, promise will be returned if not used).//callback
docker.run('ubuntu', ['bash', '-c', 'uname -a'], process.stdout, function (err, data, container) {
console.log(data.StatusCode);
});
//promise
docker.run(testImage, ['bash', '-c', 'uname -a'], process.stdout).then(function(data) {
var output = data[0];
var container = data[1];
console.log(output.StatusCode);
return container.remove();
}).then(function(data) {
console.log('container removed');
}).catch(function(err) {
console.log(err);
});
or, if you want to split stdout and stderr (you must to pass Tty:false as an option for this to work)
docker.run('ubuntu', ['bash', '-c', 'uname -a'], [process.stdout, process.stderr], {Tty:false}, function (err, data, container) {
console.log(data.StatusCode);
});
If you provide a callback, run will return an EventEmitter supporting the following events: container, stream, data.
If a callback isn't provided a promise will be returned.
docker.run('ubuntu', ['bash', '-c', 'uname -a'], [process.stdout, process.stderr], {Tty:false}, function (err, data, container) {
//...
}).on('container', function (container) {
//...
});
And here is one more complex example using auto-remove and Docker network.
docker.run('some-python-image', ['python', 'main.py', arg], process.stdout, {name: 'my-python-container', HostConfig: { AutoRemove: true, NetworkMode: 'my_network'}}, function(err, data, container) {
// Do stuff
});
docker pull in dockerode:repoTag - container image name (optionally with tag)
myrepo/myname:withtagoptions - extra options passed to create image.callback - callback called when execution ends.docker.pull('myrepo/myname:tag', function (err, stream) {
// streaming output from pull...
});
docker-modem already base64 encodes the necessary auth object for you.
var auth = {
username: 'username',
password: 'password',
auth: '',
email: 'your@email.email',
serveraddress: 'https://index.docker.io/v1'
};
docker.pull('tag', {'authconfig': auth}, function (err, stream) {
//...
});
If you already have a base64 encoded auth object, you can use it directly:
var auth = { key: 'yJ1J2ZXJhZGRyZXNzIjoitZSI6Im4OCIsImF1dGgiOiIiLCJlbWFpbCI6ImZvbGllLmFkcmc2VybmF0iLCJzZX5jb2aHR0cHM6Ly9pbmRleC5kb2NrZXIuaW8vdZvbGllYSIsInBhc3N3b3JkIjoiRGVjZW1icmUjEvIn0=' }
followProgress - allows to fire a callback only in the end of a stream based process. (build, pull, ...)//followProgress(stream, onFinished, [onProgress])
docker.pull(repoTag, function(err, stream) {
//...
docker.modem.followProgress(stream, onFinished, onProgress);
function onFinished(err, output) {
//output is an array with output json parsed objects
//...
}
function onProgress(event) {
//...
}
});
demuxStream - demux stdout and stderr//demuxStream(stream, stdout, stderr)
container.attach({
stream: true,
stdout: true,
stderr: true
}, function handler(err, stream) {
//...
container.modem.demuxStream(stream, process.stdout, process.stderr);
//...
});
docker pull ubuntu:latest to prepare your system for the tests.mocha and chai. Run them with npm test.Check the examples folder for more specific use cases examples.
