@ -8,122 +8,225 @@ An API client for docker written in Python
API
===
`docker.Client(base_url='unix://var/run/docker.sock', version="1.4",
timeout=60)`
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.
To instantiate a `Client` class that will allow you to communicate with
a Docker daemon, simply do:
* `c.build(path=None, tag=None, quiet=False, fileobj=None, nocache=False, rm=False)`
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.
```python
c = docker.Client(base_url='unix://var/run/docker.sock',
version='1.6',
timeout=10)
```
`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 and
`timeout` specifies the HTTP request timeout, in seconds.
```python
c.build(path=None, tag=None, quiet=False, fileobj=None, nocache=False,
rm=False)
```
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.
```python
c.commit(container, repository=None, tag=None, message=None, author=None,
conf=None)
```
* `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)`
```python
c.containers(quiet=False, all=False, trunc=True, latest=False, since=None,
before=None, limit=-1)
```
Identical to the `docker ps` command.
* `c.copy(container, resource)`
```python
c.copy(container, resource)
```
Identical to the `docker cp` command.
* <code>c.create_container(image, command=None, 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,
name=None)</code>
Creates a container that can then be `start`ed. Parameters are similar to those
for the `docker run` command except it doesn't support the attach options
(`-a`)
See "Port bindings" and "Using volumes" below for more information on how to
create port bindings and volume mappings.
```python
c.create_container(image, command=None, hostname=None, user=None,

volumes_from=None, name=None)

```python
c.diff(container)
```
* `c.diff(container)`
Identical to the `docker diff` command.
* `c.export(container)`
```python
c.export(container)
```
Identical to the `docker export` command.
* `c.history(image)`
```python
c.history(image)
```
Identical to the `docker history` command.
* `c.images(name=None, quiet=False, all=False, viz=False)`
```python
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.
To import from a tarball use your absolute path to your tarball.
To load arbitrary data as tarball use whatever you want as src and your tarball content in data.
```python
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

object or bytes collection. To import from a tarball use your absolute

* `c.info()`
Identical to the `docker info` command.
* `c.insert(url, path)`
```python
c.insert(url, path)
```

* `c.inspect_container(container)`
```python

* `c.logs(container)`
Identical to the `docker logs` command.
```python
c.logs(container, stdout=True, stderr=True, stream=False)
```
Identical to the `docker logs` command. The `stream` parameter makes the
`logs` function return a blocking generator you can iterate over to
retrieve log output as it happens.
```python
c.port(container, private_port)
```
* `c.port(container, private_port)`
Identical to the `docker port` command.

`binds` Allows to bind a directory in the host to the container. See
"Using volumes" below for more information.
`port_bindings` Exposes container ports to the host. See "Port bindings" below
for more information.
`lxc_conf` allows to pass LXC configuration options using a dictionary.
`privileged` starts the container in privileged mode.
```python
c.start(container, binds=None, port_bindings=None, lxc_conf=None,
privileged=False)
```
Similar to the `docker start` command, but doesn't support attach
options. Use `docker logs` to recover `stdout`/`stderr`.
`binds` allows to bind a directory in the host to the container. See

```
Wait for a container and return its exit code. Similar to the `docker
wait` command.
Port bindings
@ -132,31 +235,33 @@ Port bindings
Port bindings is done in two parts. Firstly, by providing a list of ports to
open inside the container in the `Client.create_container` method.
client.create_container('busybox', 'ls', ports=[1111, 2222])
```python
c.create_container('busybox', 'ls', ports=[1111, 2222])
```
If you wish to use UDP instead of TCP (default), you can declare it like such:
client.create_container('busybox', 'ls', ports=[(1111, 'udp'), 2222])
```python
c.create_container('busybox', 'ls', ports=[(1111, 'udp'), 2222])
```
Bindings are then declared in the `Client.start` method.
client.start(container_id, port_bindings={
1111: 4567,
2222: None
})
```python
c.start(container_id, port_bindings={1111: 4567, 2222: None})
```
You can limit the host address on which the port will be exposed like such:
client.start(container_id, port_bindings={
1111: ('127.0.0.1', 4567)
})
```python
c.start(container_id, port_bindings={1111: ('127.0.0.1', 4567)})
```
or without host port assignment:
client.start(container_id, port_bindings={
1111: ('127.0.0.1',)
})
Or without host port assignment:
```python
c.start(container_id, port_bindings={1111: ('127.0.0.1',)})
```
Using volumes
@ -165,11 +270,15 @@ Using volumes
Similarly, volume declaration is done in two parts. First, you have to provide
a list of mountpoints to the `Client.create_container` method.
client.create_container('busybox', 'ls', volumes=['/mnt/vol1', '/mnt/vol2'])
```python
c.create_container('busybox', 'ls', volumes=['/mnt/vol1', '/mnt/vol2'])
```
Volume mappings are then declared inside the `Client.start` method like this:
client.start(container_id, bindings={
'/mnt/vol2': '/home/user1/',
'/mnt/vol1': '/var/www'
})
```python
c.start(container_id, bindings={
'/mnt/vol2': '/home/user1/',
'/mnt/vol1': '/var/www'
})
```
