Docker Client

This is a simple Docker client written in Java.

Usage

final DockerClient docker = new DefaultDockerClient("http://localhost:2375");

// Pull image
docker.pull("busybox");

// Create container
final ContainerConfig config = ContainerConfig.builder()
    .image("busybox")
    .cmd("sh", "-c", "while :; do sleep 1; done")
    .build();
final ContainerCreation creation = docker.createContainer(config);
final String id = creation.id();

// Inspect container
final ContainerInfo info = docker.inspectContainer(id);

// Start container
docker.startContainer(id);

// Kill container
docker.killContainer(id);

// Remove container
docker.removeContainer(id);

Unix socket support

Unix socket support is available on Linux since v2.5.0:

final DockerClient docker = new DefaultDockerClient("unix:///var/run/docker.sock");

HTTPS support

We can connect to HTTPS-secured Docker instances with client-server authentication. The semantics are similar to using the DOCKER_CERT_PATH environment variable:

final DockerClient docker = new DefaultDockerClient.builder()
    .uri(URI.create("https://boot2docker:2376"))
    .dockerCertificates(new DockerCertificates("/Users/rohan/.docker/boot2docker-vm/"))
    .build();
