dvcrn Docker Socket Proxy
Manages Docker containers via the tecnativa/docker-socket-proxy REST API using curl and jq. Which modes are available depends on which API sections the proxy instance has enabled.
Trigger conditions
- User asks to list, start, stop, restart, kill, pause, or unpause a container or service
- User wants container logs, stats, top processes, or filesystem changes
- User asks about Docker images, networks, volumes, swarm services, or tasks
- A service needs to be restarted after a config change
Usage
bash {baseDir}/scripts/run-docker.sh <mode> [args...]
Run with no arguments for full usage. Proxy URL is resolved from $DOCKER_PROXY_URL → $DOCKER_HOST (tcp→http) → http://localhost:2375.

Name matching
Container names can be partial — myapp matches project-myapp-1. Exact match is tried first, then substring. Errors clearly if 0 or 2+ containers match.
Notes
- Modes that require disabled proxy sections (e.g.
IMAGES,NETWORKS,VOLUMES,SYSTEM) will return HTTP 403. This is expected — enable the relevant env var on the proxy to unlock them. execis two-step (create + start) and streams multiplexed output.eventsuses a 1-second window by default; use--since/--untilto adjust.
