In the emacs world we have some packages to work with Docker.
Syntax highlighting
This is possible with dockerfile-mode (in MELPA). It also offers the ability to build the image directly (C-c C-b) from the buffer.
Manipulating images and containers
For that you'll want docker.el (in MELPA too). It defines a docker-images major mode to manipulate docker images: call it with M-x docker-images. You can first select images you want to work on with keys similar to Dired:
- mark,
- unmark,
- toggle marks,
- Unmark all.
Then you can apply actions on them:
- Delete,
- Fetch (pull),
- Run,
- Push
When you press one of these keys you'll be presented with an interactive interface à la Magit.
It works the same for containers: M-x docker-containers, see the documentation.
We can also manipulate images and containers programmatically with the functions provided that form an API.
