Bollard is an asynchronous Rust client library for the Docker and Podman daemon APIs, built on Hyper and Tokio. It supports Unix sockets, Windows named pipes, TCP, SSH tunnels, and optional TLS, with OpenAPI-generated serialization types and BuildKit support.
Use cases
- manage docker containers from rust
- build images programmatically with buildkit
- connect to docker daemon over ssh or tls
- control podman from a rust application
- stream container logs and stats
- automate container lifecycle in rust services
When to choose
- you need async/await Docker API access in Rust
- you want first-class Podman support with rootless socket discovery
- you need cross-platform daemon connectivity including Windows named pipes and HTTPS
When to avoid
- you need a CLI or high-level orchestration tool rather than a library
- your project is not in Rust
- you need Kubernetes API access instead of a container daemon API
