Docker Engine API 1.51 SDK based on PHP
=======================================

[](#docker-engine-api-151-sdk-based-on-php)

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

[](#installation)

Current library was tested on docker 1.51 api version!

```
composer require lowel/docker-api-php-sdk
```

Supported clients
-----------------

[](#supported-clients)

SDK support:

- Manual PSR-7 client;
- Manual response handler, that return DTO objects (looks Lowel\\Docker\\Response\\DTO) instead of ResponseInterface and throw some of the custom exceptions from Lowel\\Docker\\Exceptions;
- Async client, based on Guzzle library, return promises;
- Async response handler, same as manual response handler, but return type is promises.

You can init all clients use Lowel\\Docker\\ClientFactory:

```
$clientFactory = new \Lowel\Docker\ClientFactory();

$client = $clientFactory->getClient();
$clientWithHandler = $clientFactory->getClientWithHandler();
$asyncClient = $clientFactory->getAsyncClient();
$asyncClientWithHandler = $clientFactory->getAsyncClientWithHandler();

$client->containerList();
$clientWithHandler->containerInspect('container-name');
$asyncClient->containerStart('container-name');
$asyncClientWithHandler->containerStop('container-name');

$asyncClient->wait();
$asyncClientWithHandler->wait();
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

You can switch default docker api version by set DOCKER\_API\_VERSION global env:

```
// Client factory use default value '1.41v'
$_ENV['DOCKER_API_VERSION'] = '1.43v'
```

Also you should have /var/run/docker.sock in your system. This is default path for docker socker.
