Stop writing docker-engine API integrations by hand.

Every time you connect n8n to docker-engine, you waste hours mapping endpoints, defining parameters, and debugging schemas. You copy-paste from docs, fix edge cases, and pray nothing breaks.

What if connecting n8n to docker-engine took 5 minutes, not half a day?

This node gives you 16+ resources out of the box: Container, Image, Network, Volume, Exec, and 11 more: with full CRUD operations, typed parameters, and zero manual configuration.

What You Get

  • Zero boilerplate: Resources, operations, and fields are pre-configured and ready to use
  • Full CRUD: Create, read, update, and delete support where the API allows it
  • Typed parameters: No more guessing field types
  • Built-in auth: API key authentication, ready to go
  • Declarative: Native n8n performance, no custom execute() overhead

Install

npm install @n8n-dev/n8n-nodes-docker-engine

Or in n8n:

  1. Settings → Community Nodes → Install
  2. Search: @n8n-dev/n8n-nodes-docker-engine
  3. Click Install

Quick Start

  1. Install the node (above)
  2. Add credentials: docker-engine API → paste your API key
  3. Drag the docker-engine node into your workflow
  4. Pick a resource → pick an operation → done.

That's it. No configuration files. No code. It just works.

Why This Node?

Without this node:

  • Hours of manual API integration
  • Copy-pasting from docker-engine docs
  • Debugging auth, pagination, error handling
  • Maintaining your own client code

With this node:

  • Install → configure → use. 5 minutes.
  • Auto-generated from the official docker-engine OpenAPI spec
  • Always up to date when the API changes
  • Native n8n performance

Auto-Generated

This node was auto-generated from the official docker-engine OpenAPI specification using
@n8n-dev/n8n-openapi-node-ultimate,
then validated against the live API so you get accurate types and real parameters, not guesswork.

When the docker-engine API updates, this node updates too.
