Introduction

The JS7 can be used to execute any scripts, executables and programs including Python® scripts.

• Python® is a frequently used scripting language available for Linux, MacOS, Windows and other platforms.
• Docker offers a Python® SDK to manage containers, see https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/sdk/
• This article explains how to use the Python® SDK for Docker® with JS7 job scripts.

Building Blocks

The following building blocks make up the solution:

...

The example makes use of a single job that runs on an Agent with access to the Docker® daemon.

• Download (upload .json): pdStartContainer.workflow.json

...

• The job script looks fairly complex as it maps all options used to run a JS7 Agent from a Docker® container explained with JS7 - Agent Installation for Docker Containers. 
• The relevant part is the client.containers.run() function that is parameterized with frequently used options to specify the image, the hostname, network etc.
• The optional part includes to display log output created on start-up of the container using the container.logs() function.
