# purple-docker: A libpurple protocol plugin for your Docker containers
Haven't you always wanted to chat with your containers? Now, with
purple-docker, you can!
## What?
purple-docker implements a protocol plugin (prpl) that tracks running Docker
containers in your buddy list and presents STDIO via the chat interface.
## This is a terrible idea
Yes.
## Why would you even do that?
This is a toy project because I wanted to learn more about CGo and building
shared libraries.
## What does it do?
Maybe some screenshots would help?
## How do I install it?
Make sure you've got the `libpurple-dev` package installed (or at least have
the headers in a place that `pkg-config` can find), then:
```bash
go get github.com/samuelkarp/purple-docker/...
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/samuelkarp/purple-docker
make localinstall
```
You can then launch a libpurple chat client (like pidgin) and set up an account
with the purple-docker protocol.
## How do I use it?
Run a libpurple chat program (like Pidgin) and create a new account with the
"Docker (purple-docker)" protocol. Enable the account, and then start creating
containers. (Note: purple-docker currently only supports interactive
containers and attaches to STDIO.)
The images above were created with a container launched by running `docker run
-d -i busybox`.
## Bugs?!
We got 'em! Feel free to open an issue, but also feel free to fix the bugs and
send a pull request. This is not a serious project, so bugs may not get fixed
otherwise.
## Contributions?
Yes, please!
