Intialize docker client (simple)

DockerClient dockerClient = DockerClientBuilder.getInstance("http://localhost:2375").build();

Intialize docker client (advanced)

DockerClientConfig config = DockerClientConfig.createDefaultConfigBuilder()
  .withUri(dockerRemoteApiUrl)
  .withUsername(registryUser)
  .withPassword(registryPass)
  .withEmail(registryMail)
  .withServerAddress(registryUrl)
  .build();

DockerCmdExecFactoryImpl dockerCmdExecFactory = new DockerCmdExecFactoryImpl()
  .withReadTimeout(1000)
  .withConnectTimeout(1000);

DockerClient dockerClient = DockerClientBuilder.getInstance(config)
  .withDockerCmdExecFactory(dockerCmdExecFactory)
  .build();

Get Docker info:

Info info = dockerClient.infoCmd().exec();
System.out.print(info);

Search Docker repository:

List<SearchItem> dockerSearch = dockerClient.searchImagesCmd("busybox").exec();
System.out.println("Search returned" + dockerSearch.toString());

Create new Docker container, start and stop it:

ContainerCreateResponse container = dockerClient.createContainerCmd("busybox")
   .withCmd("touch", "/test")
   .exec();

dockerClient.startContainerCmd(container.getId()).exec();
dockerClient.stopContainerCmd(container.getId()).exec();
dockerClient.waitContainerCmd(container.getId()).exec();

Create new Docker container and start it with mount binded volumes

Volume volume1 = new Volume("/opt/webapp1");
Volume volume2 = new Volume("/opt/webapp2");

CreateContainerResponse container = dockerClient.createContainerCmd("busybox")
   .withVolumes(volume1, volume2)
   .withBinds(new Bind("/src/webapp1", volume1, true), new Bind("/src/webapp2", volume2))
   .withCmd("true")
   .exec();

dockerClient.startContainerCmd(container.getId())
   .exec();

Create new Docker container and start it with exposed ports

ExposedPort tcp22 = ExposedPort.tcp(22);
ExposedPort tcp23 = ExposedPort.tcp(23);

Ports portBindings = new Ports();
portBindings.bind(tcp22, Ports.Binding(11022));
portBindings.bind(tcp23, Ports.Binding(11023));

CreateContainerResponse container = dockerClient.createContainerCmd("busybox")
   .withCmd("true")
   .withExposedPorts(tcp22, tcp23)
   .withPortBindings(portBindings)
   .exec();

dockerClient.startContainerCmd(container.getId()).exec();

Create new Docker container and start it with auto exposed ports

ExposedPort tcp22 = ExposedPort.tcp(22);
ExposedPort tcp23 = ExposedPort.tcp(23);

CreateContainerResponse container = dockerClient.createContainerCmd("busybox")
   .withCmd("sleep", "9999")
   .withExposedPorts(tcp22, tcp23)
   .exec();

Ports portBindings = new Ports();
portBindings.bind(tcp22, Ports.Binding(null));
portBindings.bind(tcp23, Ports.Binding(null));

CreateContainerResponse container = dockerClient
   .createContainerCmd("busybox")
   .withCmd("sleep", "9999")
   .withExposedPorts(tcp22, tcp23)
   .withPortBindings(portBindings)
   .withPublishAllPorts(true).exec();

dockerClient.startContainerCmd(container.getId()).exec();

Create two Docker containers and start it with linking

CreateContainerResponse container1 = dockerClient.createContainerCmd("busybox")
   .withCmd("sleep", "9999")
   .withName("container1")
   .exec();

dockerClient.startContainerCmd(container1.getId()).exec();

CreateContainerResponse container2 = dockerClient.createContainerCmd("busybox")
   .withCmd("true")
   .withName("container2")
   .withLinks(new Link("container1", "container1Link"))
   .exec();

dockerClient.startContainerCmd(container2.getId())
   .exec();

Create two containers with mount binded volumes and inherit its volumes in a third container

CreateContainerResponse container1 = dockerClient
   .createContainerCmd("busybox")
   .withCmd("sleep", "9999")
   .withName("container1")
   .withBinds(new Bind("/src/webapp1", new Volume("/opt/webapp1")))
   .exec();
		
dockerClient.startContainerCmd(container1.getId()).exec();

CreateContainerResponse container2 = dockerClient
   .createContainerCmd("busybox")
   .withCmd("sleep", "9999")
   .withName("container2")
   .withBinds(new Bind("/src/webapp2", new Volume("/opt/webapp2")))
   .exec();
		
dockerClient.startContainerCmd(container2.getId()).exec();

// create a third container with all volumes from container1 and container2
CreateContainerResponse container3 = dockerClient
   .createContainerCmd("busybox")
   .withCmd("sleep", "9999")
   .withName("container3")
   .withVolumesFrom(new VolumesFrom("container1"), new VolumesFrom("container2"))
   .exec();

dockerClient.startContainerCmd(container3.getId()).exec();

Handle events

EventsResultCallback callback = new EventsResultCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onNext(Event event) {
       System.out.println("Event: " + event);
       super.onNext(event);
    }
};

dockerClient.eventsCmd().exec(callback).awaitCompletion().close();

Build image from Dockerfile

File baseDir = new File("~/kpelykh/docker/netcat");

BuildImageResultCallback callback = new BuildImageResultCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onNext(BuildResponseItem item) {
       System.out.println("" + item);
       super.onNext(item);
    }
};

dockerClient.buildImageCmd(baseDir).exec(callback).awaitImageId();
