Docker PHP
==========

[](#docker-php)

**Docker PHP** (for lack of a better name) is a [Docker](http://docker.com/) client written in PHP and heavily inspired by the official [docker-php](https://github.com/docker-php/docker-php) Repository.

The reason this isn't a fork is because the separation between the api class files and the actual client into two repositories lead to time-consuming work to sync these two repositories.

So this repository contains the client as well as the api (basically it's the idea behind the repository [Morgonus/docker-api-php-client](https://github.com/Morgonus/docker-api-php-client)).

This library aim to reach 100% API support of the Docker Engine.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The recommended way to install Docker PHP is of course to use [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/):

```
composer require kreemer/docker-php
```

Docker API Version
------------------

[](#docker-api-version)

Currently only the latest version of the api is supported.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

See [the documentation](http://docker-php.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) from the original repository.

Unit Tests
----------

[](#unit-tests)

Setup the test suite using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) if not already done:

```
$ composer install --dev

```

Run it using [PHPUnit](http://phpunit.de/):

```
$ composer test

```
