taubyte/go-simple-container
An abstraction layer over the docker api client. Goal: make it simple to use containers from go.
Installation
The import path for the package is github.com/taubyte/go-simple-container.
To install it, run:
go get github.com/taubyte/go-simple-container
Usage
Basic Example
import (
ci "github.com/taubyte/go-simple-container"
"context"
)
ctx := context.Background()
// Create an new client
client, err := ci.New()
if err != nil{
return err
}
// Using `node` image for our container
dockerImage := "node"
// Initialize docker image with our given image name
image, err := client.Image(ctx, dockerImage)
if err != nil{
return err
}
// Commands we will be running
commands := []string{"echo","Hello World!"}
// Mount Volume Option
volume := ci.Volume("/sourcePath","/containerPath")
// Add Environment Variable Option
variable := ci.Variable("KEY","value")
// Instantiate the container with commands we will run
container, err := image.Instantiate(
ctx,
ci.Command(commands),
// options
volume,
variable
)
if err != nil{
return err
}
// Run container
logs, err := container.Run(ctx)
if err != nil{
return err
}
// Create new byte buffer
var buf bytes.Buffer
// Read logs
buf.ReadFrom(logs.Combined())
// Set output to the string value of the buffer
output := buf.String()
// Close the log Reader
logs.Close()
Using Your Own Dockerfile
-
Create a Dockerfile in a directory with any dependencies that you may need for the Dockerfile, the file must be named Dockerfile. This is case sensitive.
-
run:
$ tar cvf <docker_tarball_name>.tar -C <directory>/ . -
Docker expects Dockerfile and any files you need to build the container image inside a tar file.
- Using embed:
//go:embed <docker_tarball_name>.tar var tarballData []byte imageOption := containers.Build(bytes.NewBuffer(tarballData))- Using a file:
tarball, err := os.Open("<path_to>/<docker_tarball_name.tar>") if err != nil{ return err } defer tarball.Close() imageOption := containers.Build(tarball) -
Create the image with a custom image name, and the the ImageOption
- The image name must follow the convention
<Organization>/<Repo_Name>:Version - All characters must be lower case
- The image name must follow the convention
client.Image(context.Background(),"taubyte/testrepo:version1",imageOption)
Creating a Garbage Collector
import (
"github.com/taubyte/go-simple-container/gc"
ci "github.com/taubyte/go-simple-container"
)
// Create new docker client
client, err := ci.New()
if err != nil{
return err
}
// Create a context with cancel func, calling the cancel func will end the garbage collector go routine.
ctx, ctxC := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
// Create new garbage collector
gc.New(ctx, gc.Interval(20 * time.Second), gc.MaxAge(10 *time.Second ))
Running Tests
If running tests for the first time, from directory run:
cd tests
go generate
Then run
$ go test -v

Functions ¶
Types ¶
type Client ¶
Client wraps the methods of the docker Client.
func New ¶
New creates a new dockerClient with default Options.
Example ¶
package main
import (
"fmt"
containers "github.com/taubyte/go-simple-container"
)
var client *containers.Client
var err error
func main() {
// create new docker client
client, err = containers.New()
if err != nil {
return
}
fmt.Println("success")
}
Output: success
func (*Client) Image ¶
func (c *Client) Image(ctx context.Context, image string, options ...ImageOption) (_image *Image, err error)
Image initializes the given image, and attempts to pull the container from docker hub. If the Build() Option is provided then the given DockerFile tarball is built and returned.
Example ¶
package main
import (
"bytes"
"context"
"fmt"
containers "github.com/taubyte/go-simple-container"
)
var image *containers.Image
func main() {
// create new docker client
client, err := containers.New()
if err != nil {
return
}
// declare new docker image `node` from docker hub public image `node`
image, err = client.Image(context.Background(), "node")
if err != nil {
return
}
dockerFileTarBall := bytes.NewBuffer(nil)
// Build a custom image using a Dockerfile tarball.
// This will error because we are sending nil bytes. Refer to README for how to build this tarball.
image, err = client.Image(context.Background(), "custom/test:version1", containers.Build(dockerFileTarBall))
if err == nil {
return
}
fmt.Println("success")
}
Output: success
type Container ¶
type Container struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Container wraps the methods of the docker container.
func (*Container) Run ¶
func (c *Container) Run(ctx context.Context) (*MuxedReadCloser, error)
Run starts the container and waits for the container to exit before returning the container logs.
Example ¶
package main
import (
"bytes"
"context"
"fmt"
containers "github.com/taubyte/go-simple-container"
)
func main() {
// create new docker client
client, err := containers.New()
if err != nil {
return
}
ctx := context.Background()
// declare new docker image `node` from docker hub public image `node`
image, err := client.Image(ctx, "node")
if err != nil {
return
}
// declare container options to set environment variable, and command to be run by container
options := []containers.ContainerOption{
containers.Variable("KEY", "value"),
containers.Command([]string{"echo", "Hello World"}),
}
// create container from the image
container, err := image.Instantiate(ctx, options...)
if err != nil {
return
}
// runs the container
logs, err := container.Run(ctx)
if err != nil {
return
}
var buf bytes.Buffer
// read logs from the ran container
buf.ReadFrom(logs.Combined())
fmt.Println(buf.String())
}
Output: Hello World
type ContainerOption ¶
ContainerOption is a function to set configuration to the Container object.
