默认情况下 Docker 的守护进程启动会生成一个 socket （/var/run/docker.sock）进程通信文件，而并没有监听端口，只能在本机操作 Docker。如果想在其它地方操作 Docker 主机，就需要让 Docker 主机监听一个端口号，这样可以通过端口号就能实现远程操作。Docker 提供了 Python API Client，所以可以直接用Python直接和 Docker 守护进程通信。

一、在 Docker 主机上安装 docker-py

pip install docker-py

二、修改docker配置文件/etc/sysconfig/docker，添加以下参数，启用监听端口

other_args='--insecure-registry 10.44.86.222:5000 --graph=/data/docker/images --registry-mirror=https://10.44.86.222:5000 -H tcp://10.44.86.222:9527 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock'

三、测试连接

>>> import docker

>>> client = docker.Client(base_url='tcp://10.44.86.222:9527',version='1.21',timeout=5)                     

>>> print(client.images())

四、版本对应错误解决方案

如果客户端版本与服务端版本对应不上，报以下错误，可以通过升级docker方式解决

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

  File "/usr/local/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docker/api/container.py", line 68, in containers

    res = self._result(self._get(u, params=params), True)

  File "/usr/local/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docker/client.py", line 146, in _result

    self._raise_for_status(response)

  File "/usr/local/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docker/client.py", line 142, in _raise_for_status

    raise errors.APIError(e, response, explanation=explanation)

docker.errors.APIError: 400 Client Error: Bad Request ("client is newer than server (client API version: 1.21, server API version: 1.19)")

升级方法：

1、下载docker最近稳定版

curl -sSL -O https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/x86_64/docker-1.9.1

2、停止docker服务并备份文件

service docker stop

mv /usr/bin/docker /usr/bin/docker_bak

3、升级docker

mv docker-1.9.1 /usr/bin/docker

chmod +x /usr/bin/docker

service docker start

4、查看最新版本

docker -v
