Examples using the Docker Engine SDKs and Docker API — Run a container

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). This first example shows how to run a container using the Docker API. On the command line, you would use the docker run command, but this is just as easy to do from your own apps too. This is the equivalent of typing docker run alpine echo hello world at the command prompt Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```go package main import ( "context" "io" "log" "os" "github.com/moby/moby/api/pkg/stdcopy" "github.com/moby/moby/api/types/container" "github.com/moby/moby/client" ) func main() { ctx := context.Background() apiClient, err := client.New(client.FromEnv, client.WithUserAgent("my-application/1.0.0")) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } defer apiClient.Close() reader, err := apiClient.ImagePull(ctx, "docker.io/library/alpine", client.ImagePullOptions{}) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } defer reader.Close() // cli.ImagePull is asynchronous. // The reader needs to be read completely for the pull operation to complete. // If stdout is not required, consider using io.Discard instead of os.Stdout. io.Copy(os.Stdout, reader) resp, err := apiClient.ContainerCreate(ctx, client.ContainerCreateOptions{ Config: &container.Config{ Cmd: []string{"echo", "hello world"}, Tty ``` Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```python import docker client = docker.from_env() print(client.containers.run("alpine", ["echo", "hello", "world"])) ``` Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```console $ curl --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"Image": "alpine", "Cmd": ["echo", "hello world"]}' \ -X POST http://localhost/v{{% param "latest_engine_api_version" %}}/containers/create {"Id":"1c6594faf5","Warnings":null} $ curl --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock -X POST http://localhost/v{{% param "latest_engine_api_version" %}}/containers/1c6594faf5/start $ curl --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock -X POST http://localhost/v{{% param "latest_engine_api_version" %}}/containers/1c6594faf5/wait {"StatusCode":0} $ curl --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock "http://localhost/v{{% param "latest_engine_api_version" %}}/containers/1c6594faf5/logs?stdout=1" hello world ``` When using cURL to connect over a Unix socket, the hostname isn't important. The previous examples use localhost, but any hostname would work. … Attribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
