Simple and fast work with the Docker container.
It uses the library
[dockerode](https://github.com/apocas/dockerode).
## Installation
```bash
npm install --save simple-container
```
## Using
A simple example that creates and starts a container:
```JavaScript
import Containers from 'simple-container';
var containers = new Containers();
containers.create('hello-world:latest').then(container => {
console.info(`The ${container.id} container was created.`);
start(container);
});
/* Run the created container */
function start(container) {
container.start().then(() => {
console.info(`The ${container.id} container is running.`);
});
}
```
### Remote connection
By default, the local service is used.
For example, if you want to use connection settings:
```JavaScript
var containers = new Containers({
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 3000
});
```
Examples and details in
[the documentation](https://github.com/apocas/dockerode#getting-started).
### Creating a container
You can create a container in two ways.
A simple way - to specify the name of the image:
```JavaScript
containers.create('hello-world:latest');
```
Another way - to provide an object with parameters:
```JavaScript
containers.create({
Image: 'postgres:alpine',
Env: ['POSTGRES_PASSWORD = password'],
Ports: [{
IP: '0.0.0.0',
PrivatePort: 5432,
PublicPort: 5432,
Type: 'tcp'
}]
});
```
Examples and details in
[the documentation](https://github.com/apocas/dockerode#manipulating-a-container).
#### Third-party repository
An additional example of obtaining a private image:
```JavaScript
var auth = {
username: 'username',
password: 'password',
email: 'email@example.org',
serveraddress: 'https://index.docker.io/v1'
};
containers.create({
Image: 'project:latest',
authconfig: auth
});
```
Details in
[the documentation](https://github.com/apocas/dockerode#pull-from-private-repos).
## API
### create(options) ⇒ Promise
Creates a container by options or name, returning the management interface.
| Param | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| options | String
\ Object
| The name of the image or options |
### get([id]) ⇒ Promise
Returns the container management interface.
| Param | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [id] | String
| Container ID |
### info([id]) ⇒ Promise
Searches in existing containers.
| Param | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [id] | String
| Container ID |
## Debugging
Use the `DEBUG` variable with the `containers` option.
Result of output:
```bash
$ DEBUG="containers" node ./example.js
container { status: 'Pulling from library/postgres', id: 'alpine' } +0ms
container { status: 'Already exists',
container progressDetail: {},
container id: '019300c8a437' } +0ms
container { status: 'Pulling fs layer',
container progressDetail: {},
container id: '885fa9f8b950' } +0ms
...
```
Or redefine the function to your own:
```JavaScript
containers.debug = function() {
var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
/* Debugger code */
}
```
