    12  # Docker Remote API v1.11
    13  
    14  ## 1. Brief introduction
    15  
    16   - The Remote API has replaced `rcli`.
    17   - The daemon listens on `unix:///var/run/docker.sock` but you can bind
    18     Docker to another host/port or a Unix socket.
    19   - The API tends to be REST, but for some complex commands, like `attach`
    20     or `pull`, the HTTP connection is hijacked to transport `STDOUT`, `STDIN`
    21     and `STDERR`.

   539  
   540      **Stream details**:
   541  
   542      When using the TTY setting is enabled in
   543      [`POST /containers/create`
   544      ](/reference/api/docker_remote_api_v1.9/#create-a-container "POST /containers/create"),
   545      the stream is the raw data from the process PTY and client's stdin.
   546      When the TTY is disabled, then the stream is multiplexed to separate
   547      stdout and stderr.
   548  
   549      The format is a **Header** and a **Payload** (frame).
   550  
   551      **HEADER**
   552  
   553      The header will contain the information on which stream write the
   554      stream (stdout or stderr). It also contain the size of the
   555      associated frame encoded on the last 4 bytes (uint32).
   556  
   557      It is encoded on the first 8 bytes like this:
   558  
   559          header := [8]byte{STREAM_TYPE, 0, 0, 0, SIZE1, SIZE2, SIZE3, SIZE4}
   560  
   561      `STREAM_TYPE` can be:
   562  
   563  -   0: stdin (will be written on stdout)
   564  -   1: stdout
   565  -   2: stderr
   566  
   567      `SIZE1, SIZE2, SIZE3, SIZE4` are the 4 bytes of
   568      the uint32 size encoded as big endian.
   569  
   570      **PAYLOAD**
   571  
   572      The payload is the raw stream.
   573  
   574      **IMPLEMENTATION**
   575  
   576      The simplest way to implement the Attach protocol is the following:
   577  
   578      1.  Read 8 bytes
   579      2.  chose stdout or stderr depending on the first byte
   580      3.  Extract the frame size from the last 4 bytes
   581      4.  Read the extracted size and output it on the correct output
   582      5.  Goto 1)
   583

  1332  
  1333  ### Image tarball format
  1334  
  1335  An image tarball contains one directory per image layer (named using its long ID),
  1336  each containing three files:
  1337  
  1338  1. `VERSION`: currently `1.0` - the file format version
  1339  2. `json`: detailed layer information, similar to `docker inspect layer_id`
  1340  3. `layer.tar`: A tarfile containing the filesystem changes in this layer
  1341  
  1342  The `layer.tar` file will contain `aufs` style `.wh..wh.aufs` files and directories
  1343  for storing attribute changes and deletions.
  1344  
  1345  If the tarball defines a repository, there will also be a `repositories` file at
  1346  the root that contains a list of repository and tag names mapped to layer IDs.
  1347  
  1348  ```
  1349  {"hello-world":
  1350      {"latest": "565a9d68a73f6706862bfe8409a7f659776d4d60a8d096eb4a3cbce6999cc2a1"}
  1351  }
  1352  ```
  1353  
  1354  # 3. Going further
  1355  
  1356  ## 3.1 Inside `docker run`
  1357  
  1358  As an example, the `docker run` command line makes the following API calls:
  1359  
  1360  - Create the container
  1361  
  1362  - If the status code is 404, it means the image doesn't exist:
  1363      - Try to pull it
  1364      - Then retry to create the container
  1365  
  1366  - Start the container
  1367  
  1368  - If you are not in detached mode:
  1369      - Attach to the container, using logs=1 (to have stdout and
  1370        stderr from the container's start) and stream=1
  1371  
  1372  - If in detached mode or only stdin is attached:
  1373      - Display the container's id
  1374  
  1375  ## 3.2 Hijacking
  1376  
  1377  In this version of the API, /attach, uses hijacking to transport stdin,
  1378  stdout and stderr on the same socket. This might change in the future.
  1379  
  1380  ## 3.3 CORS Requests
  1381  
  1382  To enable cross origin requests to the remote api add the flag
  1383  "--api-enable-cors" when running docker in daemon mode.
  1384  
  1385      $ docker -d -H="192.168.1.9:2375" --api-enable-cors
