Docker configs

Configs objects present in Swarm mode

Don't use the constructor directly. Instead use

from python_on_whales import docker

my_config = docker.config.inspect("my-config-name")

# or

my_config = docker.config.create("my_config_name", "my_config_file")

For type hints, use this

from python_on_whales import Config

def print_config_labels(config: Config):
    print(config.spec.labels)

Attributes

It attributes are the same that you get with the command line: docker config inspect ...

To get a complete description of those attributes, you can take a look at the daemon api reference page and click on "200 No error".

An example is worth many lines of descriptions.
