> Docker API driver for PHP.

Docker configuration
--------------------

[](#docker-configuration)

Docker Engine API must be exposed on a local port in order to be able to connect.

##### 1. Edit the `docker.service` which by default on debian is located at `/lib/systemd/system/docker.service`

[](#1-edit-the-dockerservice-which-by-default-on-debian-is-located-at-libsystemdsystemdockerservice)

From this:

```
# /lib/systemd/system/docker.service
...
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// --containerd=/run/containerd/containerd.sock
...
```

To this:

```
# /lib/systemd/system/docker.service
...
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd
...
```

##### 2. Edit `/etc/docker/daemon.json` to expose docker api at `127.0.0.1:2375`

[](#2-edit-etcdockerdaemonjson-to-expose-docker-api-at-1270012375)

Add `hosts` to the json file as next:

```
{
  ...
  "hosts": ["fd://", "tcp://127.0.0.1:2375"]
  ...
}
```

##### 3. Restart Docker completely

[](#3-restart-docker-completely)

```
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart docker
service docker restart
```

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require ibra-akv/php-docker-client

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Initialize client

```
use IterativeCode\Component\DockerClient\DockerClient;

$docker = new DockerClient([
    'local_endpoint' => 'http://localhost:2375/v1.41', # Optional (default: http://localhost:2375)
]);
```

Check if image exists

```
$exists = $docker->imageExists('436aed837ea2');
# true | false

$details = $docker->inspectImage('436aedXXXXXX');
# array | @throws Exception
```
