Managing Docker containers in Go

Documentation!

When you decide to write your bike to catch hooks from the docker hub or from the registry to automatically update/start containers on the server, you may find the Docker Cli useful to help manage the Docker daemon on your system.

To work, you need Go version at least 1.9.4

If you still haven't switched to modules, install Cli with the following command:

go get github.com/docker/docker/client

Running a container

The following example shows how to run a container using the Docker API. On the command line, you would use the command docker run, but we can easily cope with this task in our service.
This example is equivalent to running the command docker run alpine echo hello world

package main {
    ctx := context.Background()
    cli, err := client.NewEnvClient()
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Делаем docker pull
    reader, err := cli.ImagePull(ctx, "docker.io/library/alpine", types.ImagePullOptions{})
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    io.Copy(os.Stdout, reader)

    hostBinding := nat.PortBinding{
        HostIP:   "0.0.0.0",
        HostPort: "8000",
    }
    containerPort, err := nat.NewPort("tcp", "80")
    if err != nil {
        panic("Unable to get the port")
    }
    portBinding := nat.PortMap{containerPort: []nat.PortBinding{hostBinding}}

    // Создаем контейнер с заданной конфигурацией
    resp, err := cli.ContainerCreate(ctx, &container.Config{
        Image: "alpine",
        Cmd:   []string{"echo", "hello world"},
        Tty:   true,
    }, &container.HostConfig{
        PortBindings: portBinding,
    }, nil, "")
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Запускаем контейнер
    if err := cli.ContainerStart(ctx, resp.ID, types.ContainerStartOptions{}); err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Получаем логи контейнера
    out, err := cli.ContainerLogs(ctx, resp.ID, types.ContainerLogsOptions{ShowStdout: true})
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    io.Copy(os.Stdout, out)
}

Getting a list of running containers

This example is equivalent to running the command docker ps

package main

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"

    "github.com/docker/docker/api/types"
    "github.com/docker/docker/client"
)

func main() {
    cli, err := client.NewEnvClient()
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Получение списка запуцщенных контейнеров(docker ps)
    containers, err := cli.ContainerList(context.Background(), types.ContainerListOptions{})
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Вывод всех идентификаторов контейнеров
    for _, container := range containers {
        fmt.Println(container.ID)
    }
}

Stop all running containers

Once you've learned how to create and run containers, it's time to learn how to manage them. The following example will stop all running containers.

Don't run this code on a production server!

package main

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"

    "github.com/docker/docker/api/types"
    "github.com/docker/docker/client"
)

func main() {
    ctx := context.Background()
    cli, err := client.NewEnvClient()
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Получение списка запуцщенных контейнеров(docker ps)
    containers, err := cli.ContainerList(ctx, types.ContainerListOptions{})
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    for _, c := range containers {
        fmt.Print("Stopping container ", c.ID[:10], "... ")
        if err := cli.ContainerStop(ctx, c.ID, nil); err != nil {
            panic(err)
        }
        fmt.Println("Success")
    }
}

Output logs of a single container

You can work with individual containers. The following example prints the logs of the container with the specified ID. Before launching, you need to change the ID of the container whose logs you want to get.

package main

import (
    "context"
    "io"
    "os"

    "github.com/docker/docker/api/types"
    "github.com/docker/docker/client"
)

func main() {
    ctx := context.Background()
    cli, err := client.NewEnvClient()
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    options := types.ContainerLogsOptions{ShowStdout: true}
    // Измените id контейнера здесь
    out, err := cli.ContainerLogs(ctx, "f1064a8a4c82", options)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    io.Copy(os.Stdout, out)
}

Getting a list of images

This example is equivalent to running the command docker image ls

package main

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"

    "github.com/docker/docker/api/types"
    "github.com/docker/docker/client"
)

func main() {
    cli, err := client.NewEnvClient()
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Получение списка образов
    images, err := cli.ImageList(context.Background(), types.ImageListOptions{})
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    for _, image := range images {
        fmt.Println(image.ID)
    }
}

Pullover

This example is equivalent to running the command docker pull

package main

import (
    "context"
    "io"
    "os"

    "github.com/docker/docker/api/types"
    "github.com/docker/docker/client"
)

func main() {
    ctx := context.Background()
    cli, err := client.NewEnvClient()
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // docker pull alpine
    out, err := cli.ImagePull(ctx, "docker.io/library/alpine", types.ImagePullOptions{})
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    defer out.Close()
    io.Copy(os.Stdout, out)
}

Downloading an image with user authentication

This example is equivalent to running the command docker pull, with authentication.

Authentication data is sent in clear text. The official docker registries use HTTPS,
private registries must also be configured to communicate using HTTPS.

package main

import (
    "context"
    "encoding/base64"
    "encoding/json"
    "io"
    "os"

    "github.com/docker/docker/api/types"
    "github.com/docker/docker/client"
)

func main() {
    ctx := context.Background()
    cli, err := client.NewEnvClient()
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Создание конфига с данными для аутентификации
    authConfig := types.AuthConfig{
        Username: "username",
        Password: "password",
    }
    encodedJSON, err := json.Marshal(authConfig)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    authStr := base64.URLEncoding.EncodeToString(encodedJSON)

    out, err := cli.ImagePull(ctx, "docker.io/library/alpine", types.ImagePullOptions{RegistryAuth: authStr})
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    defer out.Close()
    io.Copy(os.Stdout, out)
}
