- [Docker PHP](https://docker-php.mintlify.app/index.md): Use the Docker Engine API from PHP.
- [Installation](https://docker-php.mintlify.app/installation.md): Install the client and its matching generated API package.
- [Connection settings](https://docker-php.mintlify.app/connection.md): Connect through Unix sockets, TCP, HTTP or HTTPS, or a custom HTTP client.
- [Basic usage](https://docker-php.mintlify.app/basic.md): Create a client, call endpoints, and work with generated models.
- [Guzzle connections](https://docker-php.mintlify.app/guides/guzzle.md): Configure custom Unix sockets, HTTP endpoints and TLS directly in PHP.
- [Run a container](https://docker-php.mintlify.app/cookbook/container-run.md): Pull an image, create a container, start it, and read its output.
- [Configure a container](https://docker-php.mintlify.app/cookbook/container-config.md): Combine ports, mounts, environment variables and restart policy in a request.
- [Container logs](https://docker-php.mintlify.app/guides/logs.md): Read decoded stdout and stderr with callback streams.
- [Command output](https://docker-php.mintlify.app/guides/exec.md): Execute a command in a running container and read decoded output.
- [Build an image](https://docker-php.mintlify.app/cookbook/build-image.md): Stream a build context and consume Docker's build output.
- [Pull and push images](https://docker-php.mintlify.app/guides/registry.md): Handle registry authentication and streamed progress, including daemon-side errors.
- [Copy files with tar archives](https://docker-php.mintlify.app/guides/archives.md): Download files, read path metadata and upload archives without buffering whole tarballs.
- [Save and load images](https://docker-php.mintlify.app/guides/image-transfer.md): Distinguish image archives from container exports and root-filesystem imports.
- [Events and resource stats](https://docker-php.mintlify.app/guides/events-and-stats.md): Read bounded event history and a single stats sample without opening an unintended endless stream.
- [Requests and responses](https://docker-php.mintlify.app/reference/requests-and-responses.md): Understand models, JSON-valued parameters, raw responses and errors.
- [Streaming and special calls](https://docker-php.mintlify.app/reference/streams.md): Find the calls which return streams, binary bodies, headers or untyped data.
- [API versions](https://docker-php.mintlify.app/api-versions.md): Pin generated models to one Docker Engine API specification.
- [Upgrade to 3.0](https://docker-php.mintlify.app/migration.md): Migrate from the original packages or the Beluga fork.
