usage

communicating with hosts

To use shiplift you must first have a running docker daemon readily accessible. Typically this daemon is reachable via url identified by an env named DOCKER_HOST. If you are using osx, boot2docker typically will have already set up every thing you need to get started.

rust extern crate shiplift; let docker = shiplift::Docker::new();

If you wish to be more explicit you can provide a host in the form of a url.Url.

```rust extern crate shiplift; extern crate url;

use shiplift::Docker; use url::Url;

let docker = Docker::host(Url::parse("http://yourhost").unwrap()); ```

images

If you are interacting with docker containers, chances are you will also need to interact with docker image information. You can interact docker images with docker.images().

```rust extern crate shiplift;

use shiplift::Docker;

let mut docker = Docker.new(); let mut images = docker.images(); ```

list host-local images

rust for i in images.list().unwrap() { println!("-> {:?}", i); }

find remote images

rust for i in image.search("rust").unwrap() { println!("- {:?}", i); }

creating new images from existing image

todo

accessing image info

rust let mut img = images.get("imagename");

inspecting image info

rust println!("- {:?}", img.inspect().unwrap());

getting image history

rust for h in img.history().unwrap() { println!("- {:?}", h); }

deleting image

rust println!("- {:?}", img.delete().unwrap());

containers

Containers are instances of images. To gain access to this interface use docker.containers()

```rust extern crate shiplift;

use shiplift::Docker;

let mut docker = Docker.new(); let mut containers = docker.containers(); ```

listing host local containers

rust for c in contains.list().unwrap() { println!("- {:?}", c); }

get a container reference

rust let mut container = containers.get("containerid");

inspect container details

rust println!("- {:?}", container.inspect());

access top info

rust println!("- {:?}", container.top().unwrap());

view container logs

(todoc)

view a list of container changes

rust for c in container.changes().unwrap() { println!("- {:?}", c); }

stream container stats

rust for stats in container.stats().unwrap() { println!("- {:?}", stats); }

stop, start, restart container

rust container.stop(); container.start(); container.restart();
