Using TLS ========= .. py:module:: docker.tls Both the main :py:class:`~docker.client.DockerClient` and low-level :py:class:`~docker.api.client.APIClient` can connect to the Docker daemon with TLS. This is all configured automatically for you if you're using :py:func:`~docker.client.from_env`, but if you need some extra control it is possible to configure it manually by using a :py:class:`TLSConfig` object. Examples -------- For example, to check the server against a specific CA certificate: .. code-block:: python tls_config = docker.tls.TLSConfig(ca_cert='/path/to/ca.pem') client = docker.DockerClient(base_url='', tls=tls_config) This is the equivalent of ``docker --tlsverify --tlscacert /path/to/ca.pem ...``. To authenticate with client certs: .. code-block:: python tls_config = docker.tls.TLSConfig( client_cert=('/path/to/client-cert.pem', '/path/to/client-key.pem') ) client = docker.DockerClient(base_url='', tls=tls_config) This is the equivalent of ``docker --tls --tlscert /path/to/client-cert.pem --tlskey /path/to/client-key.pem ...``.
