# PodmanClientDotNet

## Description

`PodmanClientDotNet` is a .NET library designed to provide seamless interaction with the Podman API, allowing developers to manage and control containers directly from their .NET applications. This client library wraps the Podman API endpoints, offering a .NET-friendly interface to perform common container operations such as creating, starting, stopping, deleting containers, and more.

## Purpose

The primary goal of `PodmanClientDotNet` is to simplify the integration of Podman into .NET applications by providing a comprehensive, easy-to-use client library. Whether you're managing container lifecycles, executing commands inside containers, or manipulating container images, this library allows developers to interface with Podman using the familiar .NET development environment.

## Key Features

- **Container Management:** Create, start, stop, and delete containers with straightforward methods.
- **Image Operations:** Pull, tag, and manage images using the Podman API.
- **Exec Support:** Execute commands inside running containers, with support for attaching input/output streams.
- **Volume and Network Management:** Manage container volumes and networks as needed.
- **Streamlined Error Handling:** Provides detailed error handling, with informative responses based on HTTP status codes.

## Usage Example

```csharp
// Initialize the PodmanClient with base URL and timeout
var podmanClient = new PodmanClient("http://localhost:8080", 5);

// Create a new container
var createResponse = await podmanClient.CreateContainerAsync(
    name: "my-container",
    image: "alpine:latest",
    command: new List<string> { "/bin/sh" },
    env: new Dictionary<string, string> { { "ENV_VAR", "value" } },
    remove: true
);

// Start the container
await podmanClient.StartContainerAsync(createResponse.Id);

// Execute a command inside the container
var execResponse = await podmanClient.CreateExecAsync(createResponse.Id, new[] { "echo", "Hello, World!" });
await podmanClient.StartExecAsync(execResponse.Id);
