A Java (JVM) client library for the Docker Remote API, allowing programs to pull images, create and manage containers, and inspect Docker state programmatically. Spotify has stopped developing it and recommends alternatives like docker-java.
Use cases
- control docker containers from java
- pull and run docker images programmatically in jvm apps
- build a container orchestration tool in java
- integrate docker api into a jvm service
- manage container lifecycle from scala or kotlin
When to choose
- you need a battle-tested Java Docker API client for older Docker versions (17.x) and can maintain it yourself
- you're working with legacy Spotify tooling like Helios
When to avoid
- you're starting a new project - the project is inactive and no longer accepting fixes
- you need support for recent Docker Engine versions or new API features
- you want an actively maintained alternative like docker-java
