Dockerode: Node.js Docker Remote API Client

Dockerode is a comprehensive Node.js module designed for programmatically interacting with the Docker Remote API. It provides a robust, feature-rich interface for managing Docker containers, images, networks, and other Docker entities, aiming to implement all features exposed by the Docker Remote API. Key differentiators include its strong emphasis on native Node.js streams for operations like logs and execs, allowing for flexible stream manipulation and demultiplexing. It treats Docker entities (containers, images, execs) as distinct objects, and offers both callback and Promise-based interfaces, catering to various asynchronous programming styles. The package maintains a steady release cadence with frequent patch updates for dependencies and minor bug fixes, with the current stable version being 4.0.10. It is built to be highly testable and closely track changes in the official Docker API, acting as a direct wrapper that passes options to Docker and returns its responses largely unchanged.
