Ducke

A nodejs API and command line tool for docker.

Ducke supports:

• Listing, building, inspecting and deleting images
• Listing, creating, inspecting, running, logging, attaching and deleting containers

Ducke does not yet support:

• Searching, pushing, pulling, tagging and history of images
• System events, docker versioning, creating images from containers and authentication
• Exporting, resizing TTY, pausing, unpausing, inspecting changes for a container
• Interacting with the docker registry and hub

Inspired by dockerode.
