     5  # Docker Remote API v1.16
     6  
     7  ## 1. Brief introduction
     8  
     9   - The Remote API has replaced `rcli`.
    10   - The daemon listens on `unix:///var/run/docker.sock` but you can
    11     [Bind Docker to another host/port or a Unix socket](
    12     /articles/basics/#bind-docker-to-another-hostport-or-a-unix-socket).
    13   - The API tends to be REST, but for some complex commands, like `attach`
    14     or `pull`, the HTTP connection is hijacked to transport `STDOUT`,
    15     `STDIN` and `STDERR`.

   230    -   **RestartPolicy** – The behavior to apply when the container exits.  The
   231            value is an object with a `Name` property of either `"always"` to
   232            always restart or `"on-failure"` to restart only when the container
   233            exit code is non-zero.  If `on-failure` is used, `MaximumRetryCount`
   234            controls the number of times to retry before giving up.
   235            The default is not to restart. (optional)
   236            An ever increasing delay (double the previous delay, starting at 100mS)
   237            is added before each restart to prevent flooding the server.

   249  Status Codes:
   250  
   251  -   **201** – no error
   252  -   **404** – no such container
   253  -   **406** – impossible to attach (container not running)
   254  -   **500** – server error

   530  
   531          HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
   532  
   533  Json Parameters:
   534  
   535  -   **Binds** – A list of volume bindings for this container.  Each volume
   536          binding is a string of the form `container_path` (to create a new
   537          volume for the container), `host_path:container_path` (to bind-mount
   538          a host path into the container), or `host_path:container_path:ro`
   539          (to make the bind-mount read-only inside the container).
   540  -   **Links** - A list of links for the container.  Each link entry should be of
   541        of the form "container_name:alias".
   542  -   **LxcConf** - LXC specific configurations.  These configurations will only
   543        work when using the `lxc` execution driver.
   544  -   **PortBindings** - A map of exposed container ports and the host port they
   545        should map to. It should be specified in the form
   546        `{ <port>/<protocol>: [{ "HostPort": "<port>" }] }`
   547        Take note that `port` is specified as a string and not an integer value.
   548  -   **PublishAllPorts** - Allocates a random host port for all of a container's
   549        exposed ports. Specified as a boolean value.
   550  -   **Privileged** - Gives the container full access to the host.  Specified as
   551        a boolean value.
   552  -   **Dns** - A list of dns servers for the container to use.
   553  -   **DnsSearch** - A list of DNS search domains
   554  -   **VolumesFrom** - A list of volumes to inherit from another container.
   555        Specified in the form `<container name>[:<ro|rw>]`
   556  -   **CapAdd** - A list of kernel capabilities to add to the container.
   557  -   **Capdrop** - A list of kernel capabilities to drop from the container.
   558  -   **RestartPolicy** – The behavior to apply when the container exits.  The
   559          value is an object with a `Name` property of either `"always"` to
   560          always restart or `"on-failure"` to restart only when the container
   561          exit code is non-zero.  If `on-failure` is used, `MaximumRetryCount`
   562          controls the number of times to retry before giving up.
   563          The default is not to restart. (optional)
   564          An ever increasing delay (double the previous delay, starting at 100mS)
   565          is added before each restart to prevent flooding the server.
   566  -   **NetworkMode** - Sets the networking mode for the container. Supported
   567        values are: `bridge`, `host`, and `container:<name|id>`
   568  -   **Devices** - A list of devices to add to the container specified in the
   569        form
   570        `{ "PathOnHost": "/dev/deviceName", "PathInContainer": "/dev/deviceName", "CgroupPermissions": "mrw"}`

   727  -   **500** – server error
   728  
   729      **Stream details**:
   730  
   731      When using the TTY setting is enabled in
   732      [`POST /containers/create`
   733      ](/reference/api/docker_remote_api_v1.9/#create-a-container "POST /containers/create"),
   734      the stream is the raw data from the process PTY and client's stdin.
   735      When the TTY is disabled, then the stream is multiplexed to separate
   736      stdout and stderr.
   737  
   738      The format is a **Header** and a **Payload** (frame).
   739  
   740      **HEADER**
   741  
   742      The header will contain the information on which stream write the
   743      stream (stdout or stderr). It also contain the size of the
   744      associated frame encoded on the last 4 bytes (uint32).
   745  
   746      It is encoded on the first 8 bytes like this:
   747  
   748          header := [8]byte{STREAM_TYPE, 0, 0, 0, SIZE1, SIZE2, SIZE3, SIZE4}
   749  
   750      `STREAM_TYPE` can be:
   751  
   752  -   0: stdin (will be written on stdout)
   753  -   1: stdout
   754  -   2: stderr
   755  
   756      `SIZE1, SIZE2, SIZE3, SIZE4` are the 4 bytes of
   757      the uint32 size encoded as big endian.
   758  
   759      **PAYLOAD**
   760  
   761      The payload is the raw stream.
   762  
   763      **IMPLEMENTATION**
   764  
   765      The simplest way to implement the Attach protocol is the following:
   766  
   767      1.  Read 8 bytes
   768      2.  chose stdout or stderr depending on the first byte
   769      3.  Extract the frame size from the last 4 bytes
   770      4.  Read the extracted size and output it on the correct output
   771      5.  Goto 1
   772

  1504  ### Get a tarball containing all images in a repository
  1505  
  1506  `GET /images/(name)/get`
  1507  
  1508  Get a tarball containing all images and metadata for the repository specified
  1509  by `name`.
  1510  
  1511  If `name` is a specific name and tag (e.g. ubuntu:latest), then only that image
  1512  (and its parents) are returned. If `name` is an image ID, similarly only that
  1513  image (and its parents) are returned, but with the exclusion of the
  1514  'repositories' file in the tarball, as there were no image names referenced.
  1515  
  1516  See the [image tarball format](#image-tarball-format) for more details.
  1517  
  1518  **Example request**

  1535  
  1536  `GET /images/get`
  1537  
  1538  Get a tarball containing all images and metadata for one or more repositories.
  1539  
  1540  For each value of the `names` parameter: if it is a specific name and tag (e.g.
  1541  ubuntu:latest), then only that image (and its parents) are returned; if it is
  1542  an image ID, similarly only that image (and its parents) are returned and there
  1543  would be no names referenced in the 'repositories' file for this image ID.
  1544

  1585  ### Image tarball format
  1586  
  1587  An image tarball contains one directory per image layer (named using its long ID),
  1588  each containing three files:
  1589  
  1590  1. `VERSION`: currently `1.0` - the file format version
  1591  2. `json`: detailed layer information, similar to `docker inspect layer_id`
  1592  3. `layer.tar`: A tarfile containing the filesystem changes in this layer
  1593  
  1594  The `layer.tar` file will contain `aufs` style `.wh..wh.aufs` files and directories
  1595  for storing attribute changes and deletions.
  1596  
  1597  If the tarball defines a repository, there will also be a `repositories` file at
  1598  the root that contains a list of repository and tag names mapped to layer IDs.
  1599  
  1600  ```
  1601  {"hello-world":
  1602      {"latest": "565a9d68a73f6706862bfe8409a7f659776d4d60a8d096eb4a3cbce6999cc2a1"}
  1603  }
  1604  ```
  1605  
  1606  ### Exec Create

  1651  
  1652  `POST /exec/(id)/start`
  1653  
  1654  Starts a previously set up exec instance `id`. If `detach` is true, this API

  1673          {{ STREAM }}
  1674  
  1675  Json Parameters:
  1676  
  1677  -   **Detach** - Detach from the exec command
  1678  -   **Tty** - Boolean value to allocate a pseudo-TTY
  1679  
  1680  Status Codes:
  1681  
  1682  -   **201** – no error
  1683  -   **404** – no such exec instance
  1684  
  1685      **Stream details**:
  1686      Similar to the stream behavior of `POST /container/(id)/attach` API
  1687

  1823  # 3. Going further
  1824  
  1825  ## 3.1 Inside `docker run`
  1826  
  1827  As an example, the `docker run` command line makes the following API calls:
  1828  
  1829  - Create the container
  1830  
  1831  - If the status code is 404, it means the image doesn't exist:
  1832      - Try to pull it
  1833      - Then retry to create the container
  1834  
  1835  - Start the container
  1836  
  1837  - If you are not in detached mode:
  1838  - Attach to the container, using logs=1 (to have stdout and
  1839        stderr from the container's start) and stream=1
  1840  
  1841  - If in detached mode or only stdin is attached:
  1842  - Display the container's id
  1843  
  1844  ## 3.2 Hijacking
  1845  
  1846  In this version of the API, /attach, uses hijacking to transport stdin,
  1847  stdout and stderr on the same socket. This might change in the future.
  1848  
  1849  ## 3.3 CORS Requests
  1850  
  1851  To enable cross origin requests to the remote api add the flag
  1852  "--api-enable-cors" when running docker in daemon mode.
  1853  
  1854      $ docker -d -H="192.168.1.9:2375" --api-enable-cors
