A docker client for R
What is docker? Docker is a platform for “containerising” applications - running them in isolation from one another, removing differences of how they are built, what they are built from, and what resources they need (disk, ports, users, etc). It’s similar conceptually to virtualisation, but much more light weight.
Why would one want to use docker from R? Whenever you need to control external processes from an R script or package, it might be useful to interact with this process from in containers using docker
These are discussed further in the applications vignette
The main function in the package is docker_client
; this will construct an object with which we can talk with the docker server.
## <docker_client>

## container: Work with docker containers
## image: Work with docker images
## network: Work with docker networks
## node: Manage docker swarm nodes
## plugin: Work with docker plugins
## secret: Manage docker swarm secrets

Some of these functions have many arguments, but stevedore
includes help inline:
## function(image, cmd = NULL, hostname = NULL, domainname = NULL,
## user = NULL, attach_stdin = NULL, attach_stdout = NULL,
## attach_stderr = NULL, ports = NULL, tty = NULL, open_stdin = NULL,
## stdin_once = NULL, env = NULL, health_check = NULL,
## args_escaped = NULL, volumes = NULL, working_dir = NULL,

## on_build = NULL, labels = NULL, stop_signal = NULL,
## stop_timeout = NULL, shell = NULL, host_config = NULL,
## network = NULL, name = NULL)
## ----------------------------------------------------------------------
## Create a container. Similar to the cli command `docker create` or
## `docker container create`.
## ----------------------------------------------------------------------
## image: The name of the image to use when creating the container
## cmd: Command to run specified as a string or an array of
## strings.
## hostname: The hostname to use for the container, as a valid RFC
## 1123 hostname.
## domainname: The domain name to use for the container.
## user: The user that commands are run as inside the container.
## attach_stdin: Whether to attach to `stdin`.
## attach_stdout: Whether to attach to `stdout`.
## attach_stderr: Whether to attach to `stderr`.
## ports: An object mapping ports to an empty object in the form:
##
## `{"<port>/<tcp|udp|sctp>": {}}`
## tty: Attach standard streams to a TTY, including `stdin` if it
## is not closed.
## open_stdin: Open `stdin`
## stdin_once: Close `stdin` after one attached client disconnects
## env: A list of environment variables to set inside the container
## in the form `["VAR=value", ...]`. A variable without `=`
## is removed from the environment, rather than to have an
## empty value.
## health_check: A test to perform to check that the container is
## healthy. Construct with `$types$health_config()`
## args_escaped: Command is already escaped (Windows only)
## volumes: An object mapping mount point paths inside the
## container to empty objects.
## working_dir: The working directory for commands to run in.
## entrypoint: The entry point for the container as a string or an
## array of strings.
##
## If the array consists of exactly one empty string (`[""]`)
## then the entry point is reset to system default (i.e., the
## entry point used by docker when there is no `ENTRYPOINT`
## instruction in the `Dockerfile`).
## network_disabled: Disable networking for the container.
## mac_address: MAC address of the container.
## on_build: `ONBUILD` metadata that were defined in the image's
## `Dockerfile`.
## labels: User-defined key/value metadata.
## stop_signal: Signal to stop a container as a string or unsigned
## integer.
## stop_timeout: Timeout to stop a container in seconds.
## shell: Shell for when `RUN`, `CMD`, and `ENTRYPOINT` uses a
## shell.
## host_config: Container configuration that depends on the host we
## are running on
## network: This container's networking configuration.
## name: Assign the specified name to the container. Must match
## `/?[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+`.
as well as via an help()
method on each object (e.g., docker$help()
, docker$container$help()
) which will display help for the API version that you are using.
The Docker API is versioned and each version includes a machine-readable API specification. Rather than manually write wrappers that fit the output docker gives, stevedore
generates an interface directly from the spefification. Currently stevedore
supports docker API versions 1.25 to 1.39 (defaulting to 1.29).
This approach means that the output will be type-stable - there is no inference on what to return based on what the server chooses to return. With a given API version, the same fields will always be returned. Some of this information is very rich, for example, for the backgrounded container above:

Windows support for docker through this package is currently incomplete. The appveyor build tests only the parts of the package that don’t actually call docker due to difficult-to-debug issues with container compatibility on that platform.
The support for windows is not as comprehensive as for other platforms (but I’m not sure how common using docker is on windows yet). The reason for this is that curl
(and the underlying libcurl
library) do not support communicating over “named pipes” which is how docker works on windows 10.
The package includes a small wrapper around the python sdk’s docker support. On the R side this requires the reticulate
package. It also requires that you have a python installation that includes both the docker
package and pypiwin32
- once python is installed you can add these packages to python with
pip install docker pypiwin32
(or pip3
instead of pip
to use python3).
You can check that everything is configured by running
which will return TRUE
if everything is OK, and otherwise print some information about errors loading the package. In the case of error consult the reticulate documentation (vignette("versions", package = "reticulate")
will be especially useful). Improvements to installation documentation and process are welcome!
The primary limitation of the httppipe
interface is that streaming connections are not supported. This affects the following methods
follow = TRUE
: completely unsupporteddetach = TRUE
, and with detach = FALSE
works but prints output only at the end (not streaming output)The support in this package is a duplicate of the micropackage httppipe
. This implements the minimum functionality with windows named pipes to support docker. I would love for someone to help port this to a python-free package. This probably requires a bit of C/C++ and knowledge of the win32 API.
See the development guide if you want to get started developing stevedore
- it provides pointers to the core objects.
Endpoints that require “http hijacking” are not fully supported (primarily attach
) but the foundations are there to support this - stdin is likely to be a major hassle though and I’m not sure if it’s possible from within R’s REPL.
stevedore
can be installed from CRAN using
On windows you will also need reticulate
You will also need a python installation and the docker
and pypiwin32
packages, which can be installed with pip (see above).
Once installed, find out if everything is set up to use docker by running
