DockerClient class

A thin HTTP client that speaks directly to the Docker Engine API.

By default, DockerClient uses a Unix domain socket (path determined by dockerSocket) and targets API version v1.41. When DOCKER_HOST is set to a tcp:// or http:// URL, a plain TCP connection is used instead.

Instances are stateless (no persistent connection pool) — each method call opens and closes its own socket connection.

Example:

final client = DockerClient();
final id = await client.createContainer('nginx:alpine-slim',
  ports: {80: null});
await client.startContainer(id);
final port = await client.port(id, 80);
print('nginx is at http://localhost:$port');
await client.removeContainer(id, force: true);
