Brief introduction 15 16 - The Remote API has replaced `rcli`. 17 - The daemon listens on `unix:///var/run/docker.sock` but you can 18 [Bind Docker to another host/port or a Unix socket]( 19 /articles/basics/#bind-docker-to-another-hostport-or-a-unix-socket). 20 - The API tends to be REST, but for some complex commands, like `attach` 21 or `pull`, the HTTP connection is hijacked to transport `STDOUT`, 22 `STDIN` and `STDERR`. 23 24 # 2.

It also contain the size of the 596 associated frame encoded on the last 4 bytes (uint32). 597 598 It is encoded on the first 8 bytes like this: 599 600 header := [8]byte{STREAM_TYPE, 0, 0, 0, SIZE1, SIZE2, SIZE3, SIZE4} 601 602 `STREAM_TYPE` can be: 603 604 - 0: stdin (will be written on stdout) 605 - 1: stdout 606 - 2: stderr 607 608 `SIZE1, SIZE2, SIZE3, SIZE4` are the 4 bytes of 609 the uint32 size encoded as big endian. 610 611 **PAYLOAD** 612 613 The payload is the raw stream. 614 615 **IMPLEMENTATION** 616 617 The simplest way to implement the Attach protocol is the following: 618 619 1.

**200** – no error 1387 - **500** – server error 1388 1389 ### Image tarball format 1390 1391 An image tarball contains one directory per image layer (named using its long ID), 1392 each containing three files: 1393 1394 1. `VERSION`: currently `1.0` - the file format version 1395 2. `json`: detailed layer information, similar to `docker inspect layer_id` 1396 3. `layer.tar`: A tarfile containing the filesystem changes in this layer 1397 1398 The `layer.tar` file will contain `aufs` style `.wh..wh.aufs` files and directories 1399 for storing attribute changes and deletions. 1400 1401 If the tarball defines a repository, there will also be a `repositories` file at 1402 the root that contains a list of repository and tag names mapped to layer IDs. 1403 1404 ``` 1405 {"hello-world": 1406 {"latest": "565a9d68a73f6706862bfe8409a7f659776d4d60a8d096eb4a3cbce6999cc2a1"} 1407 } 1408 ``` 1409 1410 # 3. Going further 1411 1412 ## 3.1 Inside `docker run` 1413 1414 As an example, the `docker run` command line makes the following API calls: 1415 1416 - Create the container 1417 1418 - If the status code is 404, it means the image doesn't exist: 1419 - Try to pull it 1420 - Then retry to create the container 1421 1422 - Start the container 1423 1424 - If you are not in detached mode: 1425 - Attach to the container, using logs=1 (to have stdout and 1426 stderr from the container's start) and stream=1 1427 1428 - If in detached mode or only stdin is attached: 1429 - Display the container's id 1430 1431 ## 3.2 Hijacking 1432 1433 In this version of the API, /attach, uses hijacking to transport stdin, 1434 stdout and stderr on the same socket. This might change in the future. 1435 1436 ## 3.3 CORS Requests 1437 1438 To enable cross origin requests to the remote api add the flag 1439 "--api-enable-cors" when running docker in daemon mode. 1440 1441 $ docker -d -H="192.168.1.9:2375" --api-enable-cors
