Use Docker Engine in Okou

Docker Engine API for inspecting and managing containers, images, networks, volumes, plugins, and Docker Swarm resources through a user-provided HTTPS daemon endpoint.

Once connected, supported Docker Engine actions can become steps in a reusable workflow alongside the other services your team uses. Run the workflow once, on a schedule, or when an event starts it.

What you can do with Docker Engine

  • Create, start, stop, update, or otherwise change containers.
  • Build, pull, import, commit, or tag images on the Docker Engine.
  • Read image or plugin registry metadata by contacting an external registry.
  • Read Docker Engine version, health, events, resource usage, and system information.
  • Create, start, or resize an exec session that can run commands in a container.
  • Create or update Docker volumes.
  • Create networks or connect and disconnect containers.
  • Remove an installed Docker plugin.

How the Docker Engine connector works

A connected service becomes one permissioned step in the work you hand off.

  1. 1

    Connect Docker Engine

    Choose HTTPS daemon endpoint.

  2. 2

    Choose the work

    Use only the supported actions your workflow needs.

  3. 3

    Run it your way

    Start it once, schedule it, or attach an event trigger.

Connect Docker Engine securely

Use the connection method that fits your account and grant only the access the workflow needs.

  • HTTPS daemon endpoint

Connector access is controlled per service and per action, so a workflow does not need broader access than the work you ask it to do.
