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`. 22 23 # 2.

the file format version 1394 2. `json`: detailed layer information, similar to `docker inspect layer_id` 1395 3. `layer.tar`: A tarfile containing the filesystem changes in this layer 1396 1397 The `layer.tar` file will contain `aufs` style `.wh..wh.aufs` files and directories 1398 for storing attribute changes and deletions. 1399 1400 If the tarball defines a repository, there will also be a `repositories` file at 1401 the root that contains a list of repository and tag names mapped to layer IDs. 1402 1403 ``` 1404 {"hello-world": 1405 {"latest": "565a9d68a73f6706862bfe8409a7f659776d4d60a8d096eb4a3cbce6999cc2a1"} 1406 } 1407 ``` 1408 1409 # 3. Going further 1410 1411 ## 3.1 Inside `docker run` 1412 1413 As an example, the `docker run` command line makes the following API calls: 1414 1415 - Create the container 1416 1417 - If the status code is 404, it means the image doesn't exist: 1418 - Try to pull it 1419 - Then retry to create the container 1420 1421 - Start the container 1422 1423 - If you are not in detached mode: 1424 - Attach to the container, using logs=1 (to have stdout and 1425 stderr from the container's start) and stream=1 1426 1427 - If in detached mode or only stdin is attached: 1428 - Display the container's id 1429 1430 ## 3.2 Hijacking 1431 1432 In this version of the API, /attach, uses hijacking to transport stdin, 1433 stdout and stderr on the same socket. This might change in the future. 1434 1435 ## 3.3 CORS Requests 1436 1437 To enable cross origin requests to the remote api add the flag 1438 "--api-enable-cors" when running docker in daemon mode. 1439 1440 $ docker -d -H="192.168.1.9:2375" --api-enable-cors
