Dockerode is a Node.js module enabling programmatic interaction with the Docker daemon API. It offers a clean, promise-based interface to manage Docker containers, images, networks, and volumes. Developers can leverage it to automate Docker workflows, build custom tooling, and integrate Docker functionalities into Node.js applications. It simplifies interacting with the Docker API, abstracting away low-level details and promoting efficient container orchestration.
Dockerode's release frequency has varied significantly. Initial releases were frequent in 2013-2014. Activity slowed considerably after 2017, with sporadic releases. There were no releases from August 2024 to May 2025. Three releases have been made between January and June of 2025. There have been no updates in the two months prior to today.
Dockerode's npm package downloads show a strong upward trend. From February 2024 to July 2025, downloads steadily increased, peaking at nearly 6.8 million in July 2025. August 2025 shows a significant dip, likely due to incomplete monthly data.
