Docker Remote API driver for node.js. It uses the same modem than dockerode, but the interface is promisified and with a different syntax.

Support for:

• streams
• stream demux
• entities
• run
• tests
• promises

The current status of the package is in development. From the API reference, there's full support and test for sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5. Support for plugins is added (section 3.6), but it's still experimental in the docker API, so errors may appear.

Check the reference.

npm install node-docke-api

Check tests for a more general usage.

const Docker = require('node-docker-api').Docker

let docker = new Docker({ socketPath: '/var/run/docker.sock' })

docker.container.create({ 
  Image: 'ubuntu', 
  name: 'test'
})
  .then((container) => container.start())
  .then((container) => container.fs.put('file.txt'), {
    path: '/root'
  })
  .then((container) => container.stop())
