Docker Spawner

This is a very specific package for creating and managing containers remotely over HTTP. For security purposes, a layer was written that allows you to greatly narrow the control options.

In order not to open the Docker control to the outside and severely limit the possibilities.

Features

• Very limited HTTP API to control docker containers: Create, Stop, List
• You can't created any container for any image. Only what set in setup
• You can get remote info about machine to consider balance loading
• System prune

Example

In folder examples

You can just run make build to build binary or make to run example in watch mode (reflex).

Setup

Simple example is in examples/main.go with basic setup. In short:

• Init spawner.New() with passing basic options: AutoDelete, Image (docker image will be used to spawn)
• Set in Environement variables or in .env file PORT, AUTH_KEY to start HTTP-server

API

Create container based on Image

POST /containers

{
  "start": true, // optional. By default true
  "env": ["MY_ENV=Testing", "ENV_VAR2=123"],
  "image": "postgres:13", // Optional. 1st Image from setup will be used
}

List of running containers

GET /containers

{
  "data": [{}], // List of containers created by spawner
  "info": {}, // System info will be provided if you pass ?info=true
  "error": null
}

Stop container

PUT /containers/:id/stop

💥 Danger! id is optional so if you will not pass - all containers created by spawner will be stopped

Deleting container

DELETE /containers/:id

Tests

Run make test
