samuelkarp / purple-docker

purple-docker implements a protocol plugin (prpl) that tracks running Docker containers in your buddy list and presents STDIO via the chat interface.

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:

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.)

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.
