This package allows you to communicate with a Docker instance via unix socket or API.

API mode is based on [API Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/v1.40)

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

`composer require soyhuce/laravel-docker`

Utilisation
-----------

[](#utilisation)

#### Configuration

[](#configuration)

Publish configuration file via:

`php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Soyhuce\Docker\ServiceProvider"`

#### API

[](#api)

To use this package with API drive, you can expose Docker on HTTP port.

For example, you can do this:

`socat TCP-LISTEN:,reuseaddr,fork UNIX-CLIENT:`

So, in your configuration file, you have to define your configuration file like this:

```
[
    'driver' => 'api',
    'version' => 'v1.40',
    'drivers' => [
        'api' => [
            'url' => 'http://127.0.0.1:',
        ]
    ],
]

```

You can also use the unix socket to connect to Docker :

```
[
    'driver' => 'api',
    'version' => 'v1.40',
    'drivers' => [
        'socket' => [
            'unix_socket' => '/var/run/docker.sock',
        ],
    ],
]

```
