docker-spotter

docker-spotter connects to a docker daemon, receives events and executes commands provided on the command line.

Usage

-addr="/var/run/docker.sock": address to connect to
-e=: Hook map with template text executed in docker event (see JSONMessage) context,
     format: container:event[,event]:command[:arg1:arg2...]
-proto="unix": protocol to use
-replay="": file to use to simulate/replay events from. Format = docker events
-since="1": watch for events since given value in seconds since epoch
-v=false: verbose logging

The command and each parameter get parsed as text/template and will get rendered with {{.Name}} set to the containers name, {{.ID}} to it's ID and {{.Event}} to the JSONMessage which triggered the event.

Example

This example will run pipework eth0 <id> 192.168.242.1/24 when a container named 'pxe-server' starts or restarts and echo gone when it stops.

./spotter \
  -e 'pxe-server:start,restart:pipework:eth0:{{.ID}}:192.168.242.1/24' \
  -e 'pxe-server:stop:echo:gone'
