Real-time Docker metrics console tracking CPU, RAM, container status, and live log streams.
Tick off requirements as you build to track real-time completion.
Follow this chronological guide to build the project from scratch.
Establish a connection to the local Docker Engine Daemon via Unix Socket (/var/run/docker.sock) using Node.js HTTP request capabilities.
import http from 'http';
const socketPath = process.platform === 'win32'
? '//./pipe/docker_engine'
: '/var/run/docker.sock';
export function getDockerContainers(): Promise<any[]> {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const options = {
socketPath,
path: '/containers/json?all=true',
method: 'GET'
};
const req = http.request(options, (res) => {
let data = '';
res.on('data', (chunk) => data += chunk);
res.on('end', () => {
try {
resolve(JSON.parse(data));
} catch (err) {
reject(err);
}
});
});
req.on('error', (err) => reject(err));
req.end();
});
