Overview

This node interacts with Docker to perform operations on Docker resources. Specifically, for the 'Network' resource with the 'Get' operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specific Docker network by its ID. This is useful for scenarios where you need to inspect network configurations, status, or metadata within a Docker environment, such as in container orchestration or monitoring workflows.

Use Case Examples

1. Retrieve details of a Docker network by specifying its ID to monitor network settings or troubleshoot connectivity issues.
2. Use the node to fetch network information as part of a larger automation that manages Docker resources dynamically.

Properties

Output

JSON

• id - The ID of the Docker network.
• name - The name of the Docker network.
• driver - The network driver used by the Docker network.
• scope - The scope of the Docker network (e.g., local, global).
• containers - Details about containers connected to the network.
• options - Additional options and configurations of the network.

Dependencies

• Docker API access via dockerode library
• An API key credential for Docker authentication

Troubleshooting

• Ensure Docker daemon is running and accessible from the environment where the node executes.
• Verify that the provided network ID is correct and exists in the Docker environment.
• Check that the Docker credentials provided have sufficient permissions to access network information.
• Common error: 'No credentials got returned!' indicates missing or misconfigured Docker API credentials.
• Error related to volume mounts will not apply to the 'Get Network' operation but may appear if other operations are used incorrectly.
