pulumi-docker
A Pulumi package for interacting with Docker in Pulumi programs
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are already using Pulumi and need to manage Docker resources as part of your infrastructure code. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and has no known vulnerabilities. Install only after ensuring Pulumi CLI is set up; it is not a standalone Docker client.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Pulumi CLI must be installed and configured before this package can be used; requires Python >=3.9
- Low friction install with a pure-Python wheel.
- Actively maintained as of 2026-06-26 with recent commits.

What it is and what it does
Pulumi-docker is a resource provider that lets you define and manage Docker resources—containers, images, networks, volumes, and registries—declaratively within Pulumi infrastructure-as-code programs. It integrates Docker management into the same Pulumi workflow you use for cloud infrastructure, allowing you to version-control, test, and deploy Docker configurations alongside other infrastructure.
The package acts as a bridge between Pulumi's programming model and Docker's API, exposing Docker resources as Pulumi resource types. You write Python (or another Pulumi-supported language) to declare what Docker resources you want, and Pulumi handles the provisioning and lifecycle management. It's designed for teams already using Pulumi who want to manage containerization as part of their broader infrastructure automation.
Use it for
- Define and deploy Docker containers, images, and networks as part of a Pulumi infrastructure stack
- Automate Docker image builds and registry pushes within an infrastructure-as-code workflow
- Manage Docker volumes and networks alongside cloud resources in a single Pulumi program
- Version-control Docker configurations and infrastructure together in a single codebase
- Integrate Docker resource provisioning into CI/CD pipelines using Pulumi automation
