86.4. Examples

The following example consumes events from Docker:

from("docker://events?host=192.168.59.103&port=2375").to("log:event");

The following example queries Docker for system wide information

from("docker://info?host=192.168.59.103&port=2375").to("log:info");

86.5. Dependencies

To use Docker in your Camel routes you need to add a dependency on camel-docker, which implements the component.

If you use Maven you can just add the following to your pom.xml, substituting the version number for the latest and greatest release (see the download page for the latest versions).

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-docker</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
</dependency>
