Simple and fast work with the Docker container.

## Installation
```bash
npm install --save simple-container
```

## Using
A simple example:
```JavaScript
import Container from 'simple-container';

var container = new Container();

/* Create the container */
container.create('postgres:alpine');

/* Start the container */
container.start();

/* Stop and destroy the container */
container.destroy();
```

### Remote connection
By default, the local service is used.

For example, if you want to use connection settings:
```JavaScript
var container = new Container({
    host: '127.0.0.1',
    port: 3000
});
```

Examples and details in
[the documentation](https://github.com/apocas/dockerode#getting-started).

### Creating a container
You can create a container in two ways.

A simple way - to specify the name of the image:
```JavaScript
container.create('hello-world:latest');
```

Another way - to provide an object with parameters:
```JavaScript
container.create({
    Image: 'postgres:alpine',
    Env: ['POSTGRES_PASSWORD = password'],
    Ports: [{
        IP: '0.0.0.0',
        PrivatePort: 5432,
        PublicPort: 5432,
        Type: 'tcp'
    }]
});
```

Examples and details in
[the documentation](https://github.com/apocas/dockerode#manipulating-a-container).

An additional example of obtaining a private image:
```JavaScript
var auth = {
    username: 'username',
    password: 'password',
    email: 'email@example.org',
    serveraddress: 'https://index.docker.io/v1'
};

container.create({
    Image: 'project:latest',
    authconfig: auth
});
```
