It lets you write non-blocking Python code to create, start, stop, and inspect containers and images, manage networks and volumes, and stream logs\u2014all without blocking the event loop. The package exposes Docker's REST endpoints through a Pythonic async interface, so you can integrate Docker operations into concurrent applications like web servers, task queues, or orchestration tools.\n\nThe library is lightweight (a single wheel with one dependency) and actively maintained. It supports Python 3.10 through 3.13 and is permissively licensed under Apache 2.0. Use it when you need to automate Docker from async Python code\u2014for example, spinning up test containers in a CI pipeline, managing microservices in a cloud application, or building deployment tooling that doesn't block other concurrent work.","worth_installing":"Yes. Low install friction, active maintenance, permissive license, no known vulnerabilities, and a clear use case for anyone building async Python applications that need to control Docker. The single dependency (aiohttp) is itself widely used and stable. Install if you're writing asyncio code and need Docker automation."},"id":"aiodocker","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiodocker","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiodocker.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aiodocker/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aiodocker","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A simple Docker HTTP API wrapper written with asyncio and aiohttp."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1448642,"position":3887,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.27.0"}
