let info = try await docker.info()
print("• Docker daemon info: \(info)")

let version = try await docker.version()
print("• Docker API version: \(version.apiVersion)")

We start by listening for docker events, then we create a container:

async let events = try await docker.events()

let container = try await docker.containers.create(
    name: "hello",
    spec: .init(
        config: .init(image: "hello-world:latest"),
        hostConfig: .init()
    )
)

Now, we should get an event whose action is "create" and whose type is "container".

for try await event in try await events {
    print("\n••• event: \(event)")
}

Add all: true to also return stopped containers.

let containers = try await docker.containers.list()

let container = try await docker.containers.get("nameOrId")

Note: you will also need to start it for the container to actually run.

The simplest way of creating a new container is to only specify the image to run:

let spec = ContainerSpec(
    config: .init(image: "hello-world:latest")
)
let container = try await docker.containers.create(name: "test", spec: spec)

Docker allows customizing many parameters:

let spec = ContainerSpec(
    config: .init(
        // Override the default command of the Image
        command: ["/custom/command", "--option"],
        // Add new environment variables
        environmentVars: ["HELLO=hi"],
        // Expose port 80
        exposedPorts: [.tcp(80)],
        image: "nginx:latest",
        // Set custom container labels
        labels: ["label1": "value1", "label2": "value2"]
    ),
    hostConfig: .init(
        // Memory the container is allocated when starting
        memoryReservation: .mb(64),
        // Maximum memory the container can use
        memoryLimit: .mb(128),
        // Needs to be either disabled (-1) or be equal to, or greater than, `memoryLimit`
        memorySwap: .mb(128),
        // Let's publish the port we exposed in `config`
        portBindings: [.tcp(80): [.publishTo(hostIp: "0.0.0.0", hostPort: 8000)]]
    )
)
let container = try await docker.containers.create(name: "nginx-test", spec: spec)

Let's update the memory limits for an existing container:

let newConfig = ContainerUpdate(memoryLimit: .mb(64), memorySwap: .mb(64))
try await docker.containers.update("nameOrId", spec: newConfig)

try await docker.containers.start("nameOrId")

try await docker.containers.stop("nameOrId")

try await docker.containers.rename("nameOrId", to: "hahi")

If the container is running, deletion can be forced by passing force: true

try await docker.containers.remove("nameOrId")

Logs are streamed progressively in an asynchronous way.

Get all logs:

let container = try await docker.containers.get("nameOrId")
      
for try await line in try await docker.containers.logs(container: container, timestamps: true) {
    print(line.message + "\n")
}

Wait for future log messages:

let container = try await docker.containers.get("nameOrId")
      
for try await line in try await docker.containers.logs(container: container, follow: true) {
    print(line.message + "\n")
}

Only the last 100 messages:

let container = try await docker.containers.get("nameOrId")
      
for try await line in try await docker.containers.logs(container: container, tail: 100) {
    print(line.message + "\n")
}

Let's create a container that defaults to running a shell, and attach to it:

let _ = try await docker.images.pull(byIdentifier: "alpine:latest")
let spec = ContainerSpec(
    config: .init(
        attachStdin: true,
        attachStdout: true,
        attachStderr: true,
        image: "alpine:latest",
        openStdin: true
    )
)
let container = try await docker.containers.create(spec: spec)
let attach = try await docker.containers.attach(container: container, stream: true, logs: true)

// Let's display any output from the container
Task {
    for try await output in attach.output {
        print("• \(output)")
    }
}

// We need to be sure that the container is really running before being able to send commands to it.
try await docker.containers.start(container.id)
try await Task.sleep(for: .seconds(1))

// Now let's send the command; the response will be printed to the screen.
try await attach.send("uname")

let images = try await docker.images.list()

let image = try await docker.images.get("nameOrId")

Pull an image from a public repository:

let image = try await docker.images.pull(byIdentifier: "hello-world:latest")

Pull an image from a registry that requires authentication:

var credentials = RegistryAuth(username: "myUsername", password: "....")
try await docker.registries.login(credentials: &credentials)
let image = try await docker.images.pull(byIdentifier: "my-private-image:latest", credentials: credentials)

NOTE: RegistryAuth also accepts a serverAddress parameter in order to use a custom registry.

Creating images from a remote URL or from the standard input is currently not supported.

Supposing that the Docker daemon has an image named "my-private-image:latest":

var credentials = RegistryAuth(username: "myUsername", password: "....")
try await docker.registries.login(credentials: &credentials)
try await docker.images.push("my-private-image:latest", credentials: credentials)

NOTE: RegistryAuth also accepts a serverAddress parameter in order to use a custom registry.

The current implementation of this library is very bare-bones. The Docker build context, containing the Dockerfile and any other resources required during the build, must be passed as a TAR archive.

Supposing we already have a TAR archive of the build context:

let tar = FileManager.default.contents(atPath: "/tmp/docker-build.tar")
let buffer = ByteBuffer.init(data: tar)
let buildOutput = try await docker.images.build(
    config: .init(dockerfile: "./Dockerfile", repoTags: ["build:test"]),
    context: buffer
)
// The built Image ID is returned towards the end of the build output
var imageId: String!
for try await item in buildOutput {
    if item.aux != nil {
        imageId = item.aux!.id
    }
    else {
      print("\n• Build output: \(item.stream)")
    }
}
print("\n• Image ID: \(imageId)")

You can use external libraries to create TAR archives of your build context. Example with Tarscape (only available on macOS):

import Tarscape

let tarContextPath = "/tmp/docker-build.tar"
try FileManager.default.createTar(
    at: URL(fileURLWithPath: tarContextPath),
    from: URL(string: "file:///path/to/your/context/folder")!
)

let networks = try await docker.networks.list()

let network = try await docker.networks.get("nameOrId")

Create a new network without any custom options:

let network = try await docker.networks.create(
  spec: .init(name: "my-network")
)

Create a new network with custom IPs range:

let network = try await docker.networks.create(
    spec: .init(
        name: "my-network",
        ipam: .init(
            config: [.init(subnet: "192.168.2.0/24", gateway: "192.168.2.1")]
        )
    )
)

try await docker.networks.remove("nameOrId")

let network = try await docker.networks.create(spec: .init(name: "myNetwork"))
var container = try await docker.containers.create(
    name: "myContainer",
    spec: .init(config: .init(image: image.id))
)

try await docker.networks.connect(container: container.id, to: network.id)

let volumes = try await docker.volumes.list()

let volume = try await docker.volumes.get("nameOrId")

let volume = try await docker.volumes.create(
  spec: .init(name: "myVolume", labels: ["myLabel": "value"])
)

try await docker.volumes.remove("nameOrId")

let swarmId = try await docker.swarm.initSwarm()

The client must be connected to a Swarm manager node.

let swarm = try await docker.swarm.get()

// This first client points to an existing Swarm cluster manager
let swarmClient = Dockerclient(...)
let swarm = try await swarmClient.swarm.get()

// This client is the docker daemon we want to add to the Swarm cluster
let client = Dockerclient(...)
try await client.swarm.join(
    config: .init(
        // To join the Swarm cluster as a Manager node
        joinToken: swarmClient.joinTokens.manager,
        // IP/Host of the existing Swarm managers
        remoteAddrs: ["10.0.0.1"]
    )
)

Note: force is needed if the node is a manager

try await docker.swarm.leave(force: true)

let nodes = try await docker.nodes.list()

Note: force is needed if the node is a manager

try await docker.nodes.delete(id: "xxxxxx", force: true)

let services = try await docker.services.list()

let service = try await docker.services.get("nameOrId")

Simplest possible example, we only specify the name of the service and the image to use:

let spec = ServiceSpec(
    name: "my-nginx",
    taskTemplate: .init(
        containerSpec: .init(image: "nginx:latest")
    )
)
let service = try await docker.services.create(spec: spec)

Let's specify a number of replicas, a published port and a memory limit of 64MB for our service:

let spec = ServiceSpec(
    name: "my-nginx",
    taskTemplate: .init(
        containerSpec: .init(image: "nginx:latest"),
        resources: .init(
            limits: .init(memoryBytes: .mb(64))
        ),
        // Uses default Docker routing mesh mode
        endpointSpec: .init(ports: [.init(name: "HTTP", targetPort: 80, publishedPort: 8000)])
    ),
    mode: .replicated(2)
)
let service = try await docker.services.create(spec: spec)

What if we then want to know when our service is fully running?

var index = 0 // Keep track of how long we've been waiting
repeat {
    try await Task.sleep(for: .seconds(1))
    print("\n Service still not fully running!")
    index += 1
} while try await docker.tasks.list()
      .filter({$0.serviceId == service.id && $0.status.state == .running})
      .count < 1 /* number of replicas */ && index < 15
print("\n Service is fully running!")

What if we want to create a one-off job instead of a service?

let spec = ServiceSpec(
    name: "hello-world-job",
    taskTemplate: .init(
        containerSpec: .init(image: "hello-world:latest"),
        ...
    ),
    mode: .job(1)
)
let job = try await docker.services.create(spec: spec)

Something more advanced? Let's create a Service:

• connected to a custom Network
• storing data into a custom Volume, for each container
• requiring a Secret
• publishing the port 80 of the containers to the port 8000 of each Docker Swarm node
• getting restarted automatically in case of failure

let network = try await docker.networks.create(spec: .init(name: "myNet", driver: "overlay"))
let secret = try await docker.secrets.create(spec: .init(name: "myPassword", value: "blublublu"))
let spec = ServiceSpec(
    name: "my-nginx",
    taskTemplate: .init(
        containerSpec: .init(
            image: "nginx:latest",
            // Create and mount a dedicated Volume named "myStorage" on each running container. 
            mounts: [.volume(name: "myVolume", to: "/mnt")],
            // Add our Secret. Will appear as `/run/secrets/myPassword` in the containers.
            secrets: [.init(secret)]
        ),
        resources: .init(
            limits: .init(memoryBytes: .mb(64))
        ),
        // If a container exits or crashes, replace it with a new one.
        restartPolicy: .init(condition: .any, delay: .seconds(2), maxAttempts: 2)
    ),
    mode: .replicated(1),
    // Add our custom Network
    networks: [.init(target: network.id)],
    // Publish our Nginx image port 80 to 8000 on the Docker Swarm nodes
    endpointSpec: .init(ports: [.init(name: "HTTP", targetPort: 80, publishedPort: 8000)])
)
  
let service = try await docker.services.create(spec: spec)

Let's scale an existing service up to 3 replicas:

let service = try await docker.services.get("nameOrId")
var updatedSpec = service.spec
updatedSpec.mode = .replicated(3)
try await docker.services.update("nameOrId", spec: updatedSpec)

Logs are streamed progressively in an asynchronous way.

Get all logs:

let service = try await docker.services.get("nameOrId")
      
for try await line in try await docker.services.logs(service: service) {
    print(line.message + "\n")
}

Wait for future log messages:

let service = try await docker.services.get("nameOrId")
      
for try await line in try await docker.services.logs(service: service, follow: true) {
    print(line.message + "\n")
}

Only the last 100 messages:

let service = try await docker.services.get("nameOrId")
      
for try await line in try await docker.services.logs(service: service, tail: 100) {
    print(line.message + "\n")
}

Suppose that we updated our existing service configuration, and something is not working properly. We want to revert back to the previous, working version.

try await docker.services.rollback("nameOrId")

try await docker.services.remove("nameOrId")

let secrets = try await docker.secrets.list()

Note: The Docker API doesn't return secret data/values.

let secret = try await docker.secrets.get("nameOrId")

Create a Secret containing a String value:

let secret = try await docker.secrets.create(
  spec: .init(name: "mySecret", value: "test secret value 💥")
)

You can also pass a Data value to be stored as a Secret:

let data: Data = ...
let secret = try await docker.secrets.create(
  spec: .init(name: "mySecret", data: data)
)

Currently, only the labels field can be updated (Docker limitation).

try await docker.secrets.update("nameOrId", labels: ["myKey": "myValue"])

try await docker.secrets.remove("nameOrId")

let plugins = try await docker.plugins.list()

Note: the install() method can be passed a credentials parameter containing credentials for a private registry. See "Pull an image" for more information.

// First, we fetch the privileges required by the plugin:
let privileges = try await docker.plugins.getPrivileges("vieux/sshfs:latest")

// Now, we can install it
try await docker.plugins.install(remote: "vieux/sshfs:latest", privileges: privileges)

// finally, we need to enable it before using it
try await docker.plugins.enable("vieux/sshfs:latest")
