Docker Remote API Network Layer

docker-modem is a foundational Node.js module that implements the network strategies necessary for interacting with the Docker Remote API. It provides a robust layer for managing connections to the Docker daemon, supporting various protocols including Unix sockets, HTTP, and SSH. This module is the underlying networking engine for popular libraries like `dockerode`. Currently at stable version 5.0.7, it receives maintenance updates to address dependencies and minor bug fixes, as evidenced by recent patch releases bumping dependencies and fixing callback issues. It differentiates itself by offering comprehensive connection options and handling the complexities of Docker's API communication, making it a reliable choice for building Docker-integrated applications in Node.js.
