RDM ADDON - Feature Request - Docker entries?

Hello,

Do you have an example for the kind of scripts you're using, and what you would like to achieve within RDM? For example, are you more looking forward to running Docker containers, managing and creating scripts, etc?
We're open to the idea but we want to make sure that we're working on the right thing. You mention Portainer, but if what you're looking for is strictly available through the web, I'm not sure we could provide much of an integration if there is no API / CLI to achieve what you want.

Regards,

For time being Docker Client Entry would be great to have, as i mentioned currently im able to perform most tasks with docker using script entries. So at present id only ask for a Docker Client entry to connect to docker servers in RDM, I know this is possible as MS VSCode has Docker Extension which is a Docker Client itself so there must be a sample somewhere to add Docker Clients / Docker API?

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docker

That may help as an example??

Thanks

Thanks for the information. I've opened a ticket and we'll take a look at what we can do. We have a few devs who are really familiar with Docker as well so they might have ideas.

Hi John,

Can you clarify what is the intended use case?

Are you looking for a way to inject credentials in the Docker CLI, or are you looking for a way to run scripts inside Docker containers, and somehow inject credentials from RDM inside those scripts? Sometimes the Docker CLI can require you to be logged in to Docker Hub (or Azure Container Registry) in order to push images, I just want to make sure we are talking about the same time. My understanding is you are looking for a way to run scripts inside containers, so correct me if I'm wrong.

Currently I'll use Portainer in a Web Session entry for Docker Management which does work but having a Docker Client Entry addon for RDM would be perfect!

I have never used Portainer but can you walk me through what an RDM integration would look like?

Best regards,

Yeah, I think you're on the wrong page as it were, I'm looking for way to manage docker servers via RDM entries i.e. Docker Client entries with host Docker_host variable for server name.

Then once the Docker Entry is setup running it would connect via SSH / Docker Context to the remote Docker Server which would show running containers and then simple actions such as Start Stop Restart & Delete Containers as minimum or if possible, ability to show Container Logs, Inspect Containers Dockerfile or even attach a shell to a container??

Basically, I envisioned something like how MS VSCode's Docker Extension works?



As I mentioned VSCode allows me to manage Docker servers remotely or locally, but I was asking if something similar could be an RDM Addon entry??

Does that help?

Hello,

It wouldn't be an easy implementation but we'll keep in mind for future improvements to RDM.

Regards,

Couldn't you Cannibalise the Open Source VSCode Docker Extension shown above for use as an RDM ADDON??
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docker

Just what that Docker Extension does in VSCode but in RDM would be such a killer feature to have as it would again prevent additional app usage for basic docker management in RDM. As mentioned already the more advanced Docker tasks i already script in entries for my own use now but a Docker client type entry is the hole I'm trying to get filled if it's possible by your amazing dev team??

Unfortunately it's not in C#. This will not be simple but it could be used as reference.

Regards

Oh, OK Not to worry I'll just use CodeSpaces in a Web Entry then! lol. But yes, if your able to use as reference that would be great, unfortunately I'm not a coder myself so can't help much in that respect at all as my coding knowledge is basic in various languages that I use for management tasks but no deeper in respects of being able to develop apps......

But yes Docker Container type entries / Addons would be something I'd like to see Devolutions pick up or jump on the band wagon as it were as I'm loving all I'm able to perform in containers myself after finally looking further into Docker recently, still waiting on MS to get GUI's into app based Containers (IE MSIX is going that way I've been reading lately along with the release of that new 10X OS for the split 2 panel devices recently launched which are heading the development of native GUI containers) So yes would love Devolutions to look into containerisation for their current apps if it would be applicable or helpful in anyway?

Thanks again for your time and keep the features coming for RDM!!

Hello,
Wayk Bastion is already available with Docker. That's something we want for DVLS as well but since the product was not designed for that from the beginning, it takes time.

Yes, Wayk Bastion and Docker I'm already using which I really like although Ive not got into it as much as I would like but I will get to it eventually, A lot I already Script via Tasks Or using Code Space web entries. Presently Im only trying to ask if the RDM Dev Team would be able to create a Docker Client type addon from what i go into above. As you may have guessed my focus presently is based around containerization (This is another time I really punch myself for not sitting down to progress my Coding Learning further)

But thanks for thee reply always appreciated.
