dimicon

Docker Image Icon - A library for fetching Docker image icons from various sources.

Features

• Fetch icons from Docker Hub image logos
• Fetch icons from Docker Hub organization Gravatars
• Fetch icons from devicons/devicon (via jsDelivr CDN, opt-in with devicon feature)
• Fetch icons from Docker Official Images (via jsDelivr CDN)
• Fetch icons from GitHub Container Registry (via GitHub Avatar)
• Parse Docker image reference strings in various formats

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
dimicon = "0.1"
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["rt-multi-thread", "macros"] }

To enable devicons/devicon icon lookup:

[dependencies]
dimicon = { version = "0.1", features = ["devicon"] }

Quick Start

use dimicon::IconService;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), dimicon::Error> {
    let service = IconService::new();

    // Get icon for an official image
    let icon = service.get_icon("nginx").await?;
    if let Some(url) = icon.url() {
        println!("nginx icon: {}", url);
    }

    // Get icon for a user/org image
    let icon = service.get_icon("localstack/localstack").await?;
    println!("localstack icon: {:?}", icon.url());

    // Get icon for a ghcr.io image
    let icon = service.get_icon("ghcr.io/astral-sh/uv").await?;
    println!("ghcr icon: {:?}", icon.url());

    Ok(())
}

Supported Registries

Image Reference Parsing

The library can parse various Docker image reference formats:

use dimicon::ImageReference;

// Simple image name
let img = ImageReference::parse("nginx")?;
assert_eq!(img.registry, "docker.io");
assert_eq!(img.namespace, "library");
assert_eq!(img.name, "nginx");

// Image with tag
let img = ImageReference::parse("nginx:latest")?;
assert_eq!(img.tag, Some("latest".to_string()));

// User/org image
let img = ImageReference::parse("myuser/myimage:v1.0")?;
assert_eq!(img.namespace, "myuser");

// GHCR image
let img = ImageReference::parse("ghcr.io/owner/app:latest")?;
assert!(img.is_ghcr());

// Custom registry
let img = ImageReference::parse("registry.example.com/namespace/image:tag")?;
assert_eq!(img.registry, "registry.example.com");

Icon Sources

The IconSource enum represents different icon sources:

use dimicon::IconSource;

match icon {
    IconSource::DockerHubLogo { url } => println!("Docker Hub logo: {}", url),
    IconSource::DockerHubOrgGravatar { url } => println!("Org gravatar: {}", url),
    IconSource::Devicon { url } => println!("Devicon: {}", url),
    IconSource::DockerOfficialImage { url } => println!("Official image: {}", url),
    IconSource::GhcrAvatar { url } => println!("GitHub avatar: {}", url),
    IconSource::Custom { url } => println!("Custom icon: {}", url),
    IconSource::NotFound => println!("No icon found"),
}

API Overview

IconService

The main service for fetching image icons.

// Create a new service
let service = IconService::new();

// Or with a custom reqwest client
let client = reqwest::Client::builder()
    .timeout(std::time::Duration::from_secs(10))
    .build()?;
let service = IconService::with_client(client);

// Fetch icon
let icon = service.get_icon("nginx").await?;

ImageReference

Parse and inspect Docker image references.

let img = ImageReference::parse("ghcr.io/owner/app:v1")?;

img.is_docker_hub()      // false
img.is_ghcr()            // true
img.is_docker_official() // false
img.docker_hub_repo_name() // "owner/app"
img.full_name()          // "ghcr.io/owner/app:v1"

Convenience Function

For one-off lookups:

let icon = dimicon::get_icon("redis").await?;

How It Works

The library fetches icons using the following priority:

1. Registry-specific free sources: Docker Official Image logos (via jsDelivr CDN), GitHub avatars for GHCR images.

2. Devicon: Looks up the image name in the devicons/devicon icon library via jsDelivr CDN. This is a universal fallback that works for any registry.

3. Rate-limited Docker Hub APIs: Image logo, then organization Gravatar via the Docker Hub API. These are tried last to conserve the per-IP rate limit (180 req/hour).

Rate Limiting

Docker Hub APIs have per-IP rate limits. For production use, consider:

• Caching icon URLs
• Using a proxy service like go-camo for image proxying
• Implementing request throttling

Examples

Run the basic example:

cargo run --example basic
