Overview

This node interacts with Docker to perform various operations, specifically focusing on running Docker containers when the 'Run' operation is selected under the 'Network' resource. It pulls a specified Docker image and runs a container with a given command array, capturing the container's standard output and error streams. This node is useful for automating Docker container execution within workflows, such as running network-related Docker containers with custom commands for testing or deployment purposes.

Use Case Examples

1. Running a network-related Docker container with a specific image and command to automate network tests.
2. Pulling and executing a Docker image that sets up a network environment for integration testing.

Properties

Output

JSON

• stdout - Standard output from the Docker container run command.
• stderr - Standard error output from the Docker container run command.

Dependencies

• Docker API accessed via dockerode library
• Requires Docker API credentials for authentication

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the 'Command' property is a valid JSON array; otherwise, the node throws an error 'Command must be an array!'.
• Verify Docker credentials are correctly configured; missing credentials cause 'No credentials got returned!' error.
• Docker image must be accessible and pullable; network or permission issues may cause failures during image pull.
• Check Docker daemon is running and accessible from the environment where the node executes.
