Docker SDK for Python

A Python library for the Docker Engine API. It lets you do anything the docker command does, but from within Python apps ? run containers, manage containers, manage Swarms, etc.

Installation

The latest stable version is available on PyPI. Either add docker to your requirements.txt file or install with pip:

pip install docker

If you are intending to connect to a docker host via TLS, add docker[tls] to your requirements instead, or install with pip:

pip install docker[tls]

Usage

Connect to Docker using the default socket or the configuration in your environment:

rt docker
nt = docker.from_env()

You can run containers:

client.containers.run("ubuntu:latest", "echo hello world")
lo world\n'

You can run containers in the background:

client.containers.run("bfirsh/reticulate-splines", detach=True)
tainer '45e6d2de7c54'>

You can manage containers:

client.containers.list()
ntainer '45e6d2de7c54'>, <Container 'db18e4f20eaa'>, ...]

container = client.containers.get('45e6d2de7c54')

container.attrs['Config']['Image']
rsh/reticulate-splines"

container.logs()
iculating spline 1...\n"

container.stop()

You can stream logs:

for line in container.logs(stream=True):
  print line.strip()
culating spline 2...
culating spline 3...

You can manage images:

client.images.pull('nginx')
ge 'nginx'>

client.images.list()
age 'ubuntu'>, <Image 'nginx'>, ...]
