# OpenClaw - Arcane Docker Management Skill ## Overview This skill enables you to interact with your Arcane Docker Management API to manage Docker containers, compose stacks, templates, networks, volumes, images, and system monitoring. Arcane is a comprehensive Docker management platform with a REST API. ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when the user requests any of the following: - Managing Docker containers (list, start, stop, restart, remove, inspect) - Managing Docker Compose stacks (deploy, update, remove, view logs) - Working with Docker templates (create, deploy, manage) - Managing Docker images (list, pull, remove, prune) - Managing Docker networks and volumes - Monitoring system resources and Docker statistics - Managing user accounts and API keys - Viewing system logs and events ## API Configuration ### Base URL The API base URL should be configured by the user. Default: `http://localhost:3552/api` ### Authentication Arcane supports two authentication methods: 1. **Bearer Token (JWT)**: Obtained via login endpoint 2. **API Key**: Long-lived authentication using `X-API-Key` header #### Getting a Bearer Token ```bash curl -X POST "$BASE_URL/auth/login" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "username": "admin", "password": "your_password" }' ``` Response includes `token`, `refreshToken`, and `expiresAt`. #### Using API Keys API keys can be created and managed through the `/apikeys` endpoints. Use the `X-API-Key` header for authentication. ## Core Functionality ### 1.

Deploy Application Stack ```python # 1. Create or select template template_data = { "name": "webapp-template", "content": "version: '3.8'\nservices:\n web:\n image: myapp:{{VERSION}}\n ports:\n - '{{PORT}}:8080'", "variables": [ {"name": "VERSION", "defaultValue": "latest"}, {"name": "PORT", "defaultValue": "80"} ] } template = requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/templates", headers=headers, json=template_data).json() # 2. Deploy stack from template stack_data = { "name": "production-webapp", "templateId": template["data"]["id"], "envVars": { "VERSION": "v1.2.3", "PORT": "8080" } } stack = requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/stacks", headers=headers, json=stack_data).json() # 3. Monitor deployment stack_id = stack["data"]["id"] logs = requests.get(f"{BASE_URL}/stacks/{stack_id}/logs?tail=50", headers=headers).json() ``` ### 2. Scale and Monitor Containers ```python # Get running containers containers = requests.get(f"{BASE_URL}/containers?status=running", headers=headers).json() # Get stats for each container for container in containers["data"]: stats = requests.get(f"{BASE_URL}/containers/{container['id']}/stats", headers=headers).json() print(f"{container['name']}: CPU {stats['data']['cpuPercent']:.2f}%, Memory {stats['data']['memoryPercent']:.2f}%") # Update container resources if needed update_data = { "cpuShares": 1024, "memory": 1073741824 # 1GB } requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/containers/{container_id}/update", headers=headers, json=update_data) ``` ### 3. Cleanup and Maintenance ```python # Prune unused resources requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/images/prune", headers=headers) requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/volumes/prune", headers=headers) requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/networks/prune", headers=headers) # Get disk usage before and after df_before = requests.get(f"{BASE_URL}/system/df", headers=headers).json() # ... perform cleanup ... df_after = requests.get(f"{BASE_URL}/system/df", headers=headers).json() ``` ## Best Practices 1. **Authentication**: Always use API keys for automated scripts and services. Use JWT tokens for interactive sessions. 2. **Error Handling**: Check response status codes and handle errors appropriately: - 200: Success - 400: Bad request (validation error) - 401: Unauthorized - 403: Forbidden - 404: Not found - 500: Internal server error 3. **Resource Management**: - Always specify resource limits when creating containers - Use labels to organize resources - Regularly prune unused resources 4. **Security**: - Store API keys and tokens securely (use environment variables) - Use HTTPS in production - Implement proper access controls with user roles - Rotate API keys regularly 5. **Monitoring**: - Monitor container stats regularly - Set up alerts for resource usage - Review system logs periodically 6. **Templates**: - Use variables for configurable values - Document template variables clearly - Version control your templates - Use global variables for shared configuration ## Troubleshooting ### Common Issues **Authentication Failed** - Verify token is not expired (check `expiresAt`) - Use refresh token to get new access token - Verify API key is correct and not expired **Container Won't Start** - Check container logs: `GET /containers/{id}/logs` - Inspect container: `GET /containers/{id}` - Verify port conflicts and resource availability **Stack Deployment Failed** - Validate compose file syntax - Check template variables are properly defined - Review stack logs: `GET /stacks/{id}/logs` **Resource Not Found** - Verify resource ID is correct - Check if resource was deleted - Ensure proper permissions ## Notes - All timestamps are in ISO 8601 format (UTC) - Container IDs can be full or short (first 12 characters) - Image names support full registry paths (registry.example.com/image:tag) - Network and volume names must be unique - Stack names must be unique per user/project ## Reference Links For complete API documentation and schema definitions, refer to the OpenAPI specification provided in the JSON schema.

OpenClaw - Arcane Docker Management Skill

Overview

This skill enables you to interact with your Arcane Docker Management API to manage Docker containers, compose stacks, templates, networks, volumes, images, and system monitoring. Arcane is a comprehensive Docker management platform with a REST API.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user requests any of the following:

  • Managing Docker containers (list, start, stop, restart, remove, inspect)
  • Managing Docker Compose stacks (deploy, update, remove, view logs)
  • Working with Docker templates (create, deploy, manage)
  • Managing Docker images (list, pull, remove, prune)
  • Managing Docker networks and volumes
  • Monitoring system resources and Docker statistics
  • Managing user accounts and API keys
  • Viewing system logs and events

API Configuration

Base URL

The API base URL should be configured by the user. Default: http://localhost:3552/api

Authentication

Arcane supports two authentication methods:

  1. Bearer Token (JWT): Obtained via login endpoint
  2. API Key: Long-lived authentication using X-API-Key header

Getting a Bearer Token

curl -X POST "$BASE_URL/auth/login" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "username": "admin",
    "password": "your_password"
  }'

Response includes token, refreshToken, and expiresAt.

Using API Keys

API keys can be created and managed through the /apikeys endpoints. Use the X-API-Key header for authentication.

Implementation Guidelines

Error Handling

All API responses follow a standard format:

{
  "success": true|false,
  "data": {...},
  "message": "Success or error message"
}

Error responses use HTTP problem details (RFC 7807):

{
  "type": "about:blank",
  "title": "Error title",
  "status": 400,
  "detail": "Detailed error message"
}

Pagination

List endpoints support pagination with these query parameters:

  • start: Starting index (default: 0)
  • limit: Items per page (default: 20)
  • sort: Column to sort by
  • order: Sort direction (asc/desc, default: asc)
  • search: Search query

Response includes pagination metadata:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": [...],
  "pagination": {
    "start": 0,
    "limit": 20,
    "total": 100,
    "hasMore": true
  }
}

Using Python

When implementing Arcane operations in Python, use the requests library:

import requests

BASE_URL = "http://localhost:3552/api"
TOKEN = "your-jwt-token"

headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {TOKEN}",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

# List containers
response = requests.get(f"{BASE_URL}/containers", headers=headers)
containers = response.json()

# Deploy stack
stack_data = {
    "name": "my-stack",
    "templateId": "template-id",
    "envVars": {
        "PORT": "8080"
    }
}
response = requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/stacks", headers=headers, json=stack_data)
result = response.json()

Using Bash

For simple operations, use curl with error handling:

#!/bin/bash

BASE_URL="http://localhost:3552/api"
TOKEN="your-jwt-token"

# Function to make authenticated requests
api_call() {
    local method=$1
    local endpoint=$2
    local data=$3
    
    if [ -z "$data" ]; then
        curl -s -X "$method" "$BASE_URL/$endpoint" \
            -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
    else
        curl -s -X "$method" "$BASE_URL/$endpoint" \
            -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
            -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
            -d "$data"
    fi
}

# Example: List containers
containers=$(api_call GET "containers")
echo "$containers" | jq '.data[] | {id, name, status}'

Common Workflows

1. Deploy Application Stack

# 1. Create or select template
template_data = {
    "name": "webapp-template",
    "content": "version: '3.8'\nservices:\n  web:\n    image: myapp:{{VERSION}}\n    ports:\n      - '{{PORT}}:8080'",
    "variables": [
        {"name": "VERSION", "defaultValue": "latest"},
        {"name": "PORT", "defaultValue": "80"}
    ]
}
template = requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/templates", headers=headers, json=template_data).json()

# 2. Deploy stack from template
stack_data = {
    "name": "production-webapp",
    "templateId": template["data"]["id"],
    "envVars": {
        "VERSION": "v1.2.3",
        "PORT": "8080"
    }
}
stack = requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/stacks", headers=headers, json=stack_data).json()

# 3. Monitor deployment
stack_id = stack["data"]["id"]
logs = requests.get(f"{BASE_URL}/stacks/{stack_id}/logs?tail=50", headers=headers).json()

2. Scale and Monitor Containers

# Get running containers
containers = requests.get(f"{BASE_URL}/containers?status=running", headers=headers).json()

# Get stats for each container
for container in containers["data"]:
    stats = requests.get(f"{BASE_URL}/containers/{container['id']}/stats", headers=headers).json()
    print(f"{container['name']}: CPU {stats['data']['cpuPercent']:.2f}%, Memory {stats['data']['memoryPercent']:.2f}%")

# Update container resources if needed
update_data = {
    "cpuShares": 1024,
    "memory": 1073741824  # 1GB
}
requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/containers/{container_id}/update", headers=headers, json=update_data)

3. Cleanup and Maintenance

# Prune unused resources
requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/images/prune", headers=headers)
requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/volumes/prune", headers=headers)
requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/networks/prune", headers=headers)

# Get disk usage before and after
df_before = requests.get(f"{BASE_URL}/system/df", headers=headers).json()
# ... perform cleanup ...
df_after = requests.get(f"{BASE_URL}/system/df", headers=headers).json()

Best Practices

  1. Authentication: Always use API keys for automated scripts and services. Use JWT tokens for interactive sessions.

  2. Error Handling: Check response status codes and handle errors appropriately:

    • 200: Success
    • 400: Bad request (validation error)
    • 401: Unauthorized
    • 403: Forbidden
    • 404: Not found
    • 500: Internal server error
  3. Resource Management:

    • Always specify resource limits when creating containers
    • Use labels to organize resources
    • Regularly prune unused resources
  4. Security:

    • Store API keys and tokens securely (use environment variables)
    • Use HTTPS in production
    • Implement proper access controls with user roles
    • Rotate API keys regularly
  5. Monitoring:

    • Monitor container stats regularly
    • Set up alerts for resource usage
    • Review system logs periodically
  6. Templates:

    • Use variables for configurable values
    • Document template variables clearly
    • Version control your templates
    • Use global variables for shared configuration

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Authentication Failed

  • Verify token is not expired (check expiresAt)
  • Use refresh token to get new access token
  • Verify API key is correct and not expired

Container Won't Start

  • Check container logs: GET /containers/{id}/logs
  • Inspect container: GET /containers/{id}
  • Verify port conflicts and resource availability

Stack Deployment Failed

  • Validate compose file syntax
  • Check template variables are properly defined
  • Review stack logs: GET /stacks/{id}/logs

Resource Not Found

  • Verify resource ID is correct
  • Check if resource was deleted
  • Ensure proper permissions

Notes

  • All timestamps are in ISO 8601 format (UTC)
  • Container IDs can be full or short (first 12 characters)
  • Image names support full registry paths (registry.example.com/image:tag)
  • Network and volume names must be unique
  • Stack names must be unique per user/project
