No longer well-maintained docker client library. Docker's supported engine API client for go is docker/engine-api.
Here is an example showing how to use it:
package main
import (
"github.com/samalba/dockerclient"
"log"
"time"
"os"
)
// Callback used to listen to Docker's events
func eventCallback(event *dockerclient.Event, ec chan error, args ...interface{}) {
log.Printf("Received event: %#v\n", *event)
}
func main() {
// Init the client
docker, _ := dockerclient.NewDockerClient("unix:///var/run/docker.sock", nil)
// Get only running containers
containers, err := docker.ListContainers(false, false, "")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
for _, c := range containers {
log.Println(c.Id, c.Names)
}
// Inspect the first container returned
if len(containers) > 0 {
id := containers[0].Id
info, _ := docker.InspectContainer(id)
log.Println(info)
}
// Build a docker image
// some.tar contains the build context (Dockerfile any any files it needs to add/copy)
dockerBuildContext, err := os.Open("some.tar")
defer dockerBuildContext.Close()
buildImageConfig := &dockerclient.BuildImage{
Context: dockerBuildContext,
RepoName: "your_image_name",
SuppressOutput: false,
}
reader, err := docker.BuildImage(buildImageConfig)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Create a container
containerConfig := &dockerclient.ContainerConfig{
Image: "ubuntu:14.04",
Cmd: []string{"bash"},
AttachStdin: true,
Tty: true}
containerId, err := docker.CreateContainer(containerConfig, "foobar", nil)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Start the container
hostConfig := &dockerclient.HostConfig{}
err = docker.StartContainer(containerId, hostConfig)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Stop the container (with 5 seconds timeout)
docker.StopContainer(containerId, 5)
// Listen to events
docker.StartMonitorEvents(eventCallback, nil)
// Hold the execution to look at the events coming
time.Sleep(3600 * time.Second)
