# go-dockerclient

This package presents a client for the Docker remote API. It also provides
support for the extensions in the [Swarm API](https://docs.docker.com/swarm/swarm-api/).
It currently supports the Docker API up to version 1.23.
This package also provides support for docker's network API, which is a simple
passthrough to the libnetwork remote API. Note that docker's network API is
only available in docker 1.8 and above, and only enabled in docker if
DOCKER_EXPERIMENTAL is defined during the docker build process.
For more details, check the [remote API documentation](http://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/api/docker_remote_api/).
## Vendoring
If you are having issues with Go 1.5 and have `GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT` set with an application that has go-dockerclient vendored,
please update your vendoring of go-dockerclient :) We recently moved the `vendor` directory to `external` so that go-dockerclient
is compatible with this configuration. See [338](https://github.com/fsouza/go-dockerclient/issues/338) and [339](https://github.com/fsouza/go-dockerclient/pull/339)
for details.
## Example
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/fsouza/go-dockerclient"
)
func main() {
endpoint := "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"
client, _ := docker.NewClient(endpoint)
imgs, _ := client.ListImages(docker.ListImagesOptions{All: false})
for _, img := range imgs {
fmt.Println("ID: ", img.ID)
fmt.Println("RepoTags: ", img.RepoTags)
fmt.Println("Created: ", img.Created)
fmt.Println("Size: ", img.Size)
fmt.Println("VirtualSize: ", img.VirtualSize)
fmt.Println("ParentId: ", img.ParentID)
}
}
```
## Using with TLS
In order to instantiate the client for a TLS-enabled daemon, you should use NewTLSClient, passing the endpoint and path for key and certificates as parameters.
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/fsouza/go-dockerclient"
)
func main() {
endpoint := "tcp://[ip]:[port]"
path := os.Getenv("DOCKER_CERT_PATH")
ca := fmt.Sprintf("%s/ca.pem", path)
cert := fmt.Sprintf("%s/cert.pem", path)
key := fmt.Sprintf("%s/key.pem", path)
client, _ := docker.NewTLSClient(endpoint, cert, key, ca)
// use client
}
```
If using [docker-machine](https://docs.docker.com/machine/), or another application that exports environment variables
`DOCKER_HOST, DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY, DOCKER_CERT_PATH`, you can use NewClientFromEnv.
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/fsouza/go-dockerclient"
)
func main() {
client, _ := docker.NewClientFromEnv()
// use client
}
```
See the documentation for more details.
## Developing
All development commands can be seen in the [Makefile](Makefile).
Commited code must pass:
* [golint](https://github.com/golang/lint)
* [go vet](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/vet)
* [gofmt](https://golang.org/cmd/gofmt)
* [go test](https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Test_packages)
Running `make test` will check all of these. If your editor does not automatically call gofmt, `make fmt` will format all go files in this repository.
