A Go client library for the Docker Engine remote API, including Swarm and network API support. It predates Docker's official Go SDK and remains maintained but lags behind the official SDK in new API features.
Use cases
- control docker containers from a go program
- list and manage docker images programmatically
- talk to the docker engine api in go
- connect to a tls-secured docker daemon
- manage docker networks and swarm from go code
When to choose
- you have an existing Go codebase already using go-dockerclient
- you need a mature, widely imported Docker API client with TLS and env-based configuration
When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - the official Docker Go SDK is more up to date
- you need the newest Docker Engine API features, which are implemented on demand here
