    12  # Docker Remote API v1.12
    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
    18     [Bind Docker to another host/port or a Unix socket](../../articles/basics.md#bind-docker-to-another-hostport-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`,
    21     `STDIN` and `STDERR`.

   585  -   **500** – server error
   586  
   587      **Stream details**:
   588  
   589      When using the TTY setting is enabled in
   590      [`POST /containers/create`
   591      ](docker_remote_api_v1.9.md#create-a-container),
   592      the stream is the raw data from the process PTY and client's stdin.
   593      When the TTY is disabled, then the stream is multiplexed to separate
   594      stdout and stderr.
   595  
   596      The format is a **Header** and a **Payload** (frame).
   597  
   598      **HEADER**
   599  
   600      The header will contain the information on which stream write the
   601      stream (stdout or stderr). It also contain the size of the
   602      associated frame encoded on the last 4 bytes (uint32).
   603  
   604      It is encoded on the first 8 bytes like this:
   605  
   606          header := [8]byte{STREAM_TYPE, 0, 0, 0, SIZE1, SIZE2, SIZE3, SIZE4}
   607  
   608      `STREAM_TYPE` can be:
   609  
   610  -   0: stdin (will be written on stdout)
   611  -   1: stdout
   612  -   2: stderr
   613  
   614      `SIZE1, SIZE2, SIZE3, SIZE4` are the 4 bytes of
   615      the uint32 size encoded as big endian.
   616  
   617      **PAYLOAD**
   618  
   619      The payload is the raw stream.
   620  
   621      **IMPLEMENTATION**
   622  
   623      The simplest way to implement the Attach protocol is the following:
   624  
   625      1.  Read 8 bytes
   626      2.  chose stdout or stderr depending on the first byte
   627      3.  Extract the frame size from the last 4 bytes
   628      4.  Read the extracted size and output it on the correct output
   629      5.  Goto 1
   630

  1397  
  1398  ### Image tarball format
  1399  
  1400  An image tarball contains one directory per image layer (named using its long ID),
  1401  each containing three files:
  1402  
  1403  1. `VERSION`: currently `1.0` - the file format version
  1404  2. `json`: detailed layer information, similar to `docker inspect layer_id`
  1405  3. `layer.tar`: A tarfile containing the filesystem changes in this layer
  1406  
  1407  The `layer.tar` file will contain `aufs` style `.wh..wh.aufs` files and directories
  1408  for storing attribute changes and deletions.
  1409  
  1410  If the tarball defines a repository, there will also be a `repositories` file at
  1411  the root that contains a list of repository and tag names mapped to layer IDs.
  1412  
  1413  ```
  1414  {"hello-world":
  1415      {"latest": "565a9d68a73f6706862bfe8409a7f659776d4d60a8d096eb4a3cbce6999cc2a1"}
  1416  }
  1417  ```
  1418  
  1419  # 3. Going further
  1420  
  1421  ## 3.1 Inside `docker run`
  1422  
  1423  As an example, the `docker run` command line makes the following API calls:
  1424  
  1425  - Create the container
  1426  
  1427  - If the status code is 404, it means the image doesn't exist:
  1428      - Try to pull it
  1429      - Then retry to create the container
  1430  
  1431  - Start the container
  1432  
  1433  - If you are not in detached mode:
  1434      - Attach to the container, using logs=1 (to have stdout and
  1435        stderr from the container's start) and stream=1
  1436  
  1437  - If in detached mode or only stdin is attached:
  1438      - Display the container's id
  1439  
  1440  ## 3.2 Hijacking
  1441  
  1442  In this version of the API, /attach, uses hijacking to transport stdin,
  1443  stdout and stderr on the same socket. This might change in the future.
  1444  
  1445  ## 3.3 CORS Requests
  1446  
  1447  To enable cross origin requests to the remote api add the flag
  1448  "--api-enable-cors" when running docker in daemon mode.
  1449  
  1450      $ docker -d -H="192.168.1.9:2375" --api-enable-cors
