Running with Docker

This app can run as a lightweight Docker container.

To use it against a local Docker daemon listening on a local Unix socket:

docker run \
 --name docker-api-graphql \
 -d \
 -p 8080:8080 \
 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
 rm3l/docker-api-graphql

Note: the -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock option can be used in Linux environments only.

For more sophisticated use cases of Docker daemons accessible over the network (and secured with client certificates):

docker run \
 --name docker-api-graphql \
 -d \
 -p 8080:8080 \
 -e DOCKER_HOST=https://<host>:<port> \
 -v /path/to/my/docker/folder/containing/my/certificates:/etc/docker \
 rm3l/docker-api-graphql

Note: the /path/to/my/docker/folder/containing/my/certificates must be mounted under /etc/docker inside the running container, and must follow the semantics behind the DOCKER_CERT_PATH environment variable

You'll just need to access the port 8080 of the Docker engine where docker-api-graphql is running using your browser.

Deploying this API to manage a Swarm cluster is just as easy ! You can directly deploy it as a service in your Docker cluster:

docker service create \
 --name docker-api-graphql \
 -d \
 --publish 8080:8080 \
 --constraint 'node.role == manager' \
 --mount type=bind,src=//var/run/docker.sock,dst=/var/run/docker.sock \
 rm3l/docker-api-graphql \
 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock

API Endpoints

/graphiql

This gives you access to a GraphiQL application in your browser, so you can play with the GraphQL API

/graphql

This is the entrypoint for the GraphQL API.

Building from source

You can build docker-api-graphql in the same way as any Gradle project on Git.

However, thanks to the Gradle Wrapper (cf. gradlew and gradlew.bat scripts), you do not need to have Gradle installed on your machine.

1. Clone the docker-api-graphql repository on your machine:

git clone https://github.com/rm3l/docker-api-graphql && cd docker-api-graphql

2. Switch to the appropriate branch if needed with git checkout ...
3. Execute a Gradle build in the directory containing the build.gradle file:

./gradlew build

4. You will find the WAR artifact under the build/libs directory.
