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

[](#docker-php)

**Docker PHP** (for lack of a better name) is a [Docker](http://docker.io/) client written in PHP. This library is still a work in progress. Not much is supported yet, but the goal is to reach 100% API support.

The test suite currently passes against the [Docker Remote API v1.9](http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/api/docker_remote_api_v1.9/).

[![Travis-CI](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/efa5bb79bde406b420e0ebd9bb330d80d8762da26ff37e8f21e08d459da0be66/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f7374616765312f646f636b65722d7068702e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/stage1/docker-php) [![Scrutinizer Code Quality](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/726b0b607c3e82d04bcb75b0f64f9aa94b7c2cfd6e3f4deadf5020c73df3f0d7/68747470733a2f2f7363727574696e697a65722d63692e636f6d2f672f7374616765312f646f636b65722d7068702f6261646765732f7175616c6974792d73636f72652e706e673f623d6d6173746572)](https://scrutinizer-ci.com/g/stage1/docker-php/?branch=master)

Versioning
----------

[](#versioning)

There is no *stable* version yet and the API is rapidly evolving, but we still try to semantically version the library according to [semver](http://semver.org/), but shifted a little bit:

- **MAJOR** version number stays to 0 until API freeze
- **MINOR** version number is incremented when a backward incompatible change is made
- **PATCH** version number is incremented when a new feature is added

So basically, if you want the `0.5` version set, use a version constraint of `~0.5.0` and you should be fine.

We are **NOT** documenting upgrade procedures until we reach a stable API, please read the code and PRs to keep up with what's going on. You can also ask us for help, we're nice people!

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

[](#installation)

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

```
{
    "require": {
        "stage1/docker-php": "@dev"
    }
}
```

**Note**: there is no stable version of Docker PHP yet.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

See [the documentation](https://github.com/stage1/docker-php/blob/master/doc/usage.md).

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

[](#unit-tests)

Setup the test suite using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/):

```
$ composer install --dev

```

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

```
$ bin/phpunit

```

Contributing
------------

[](#contributing)

Here are a few rules to follow in order to ease code reviews, and discussions before maintainers accept and merge your work.

- You **MUST** follow the [PSR-1](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/1/) and [PSR-2](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/2/).
- You **MUST** run the test suite.
- You **MUST** write (or update) unit tests.
- You **SHOULD** write documentation.

Please, write [commit messages that make sense](http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html), and [rebase your branch](http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Branching-Rebasing) before submitting your Pull Request.

One may ask you to [squash your commits](http://gitready.com/advanced/2009/02/10/squashing-commits-with-rebase.html) too. This is used to "clean" your Pull Request before merging it (we don't want commits such as `fix tests`, `fix 2`, `fix 3`, etc.).

Also, when creating your Pull Request on GitHub, you **MUST** write a description which gives the context and/or explains why you are creating it.

Thank you!
