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 603 associated frame encoded on the last 4 bytes (uint32). 604 605 It is encoded on the first 8 bytes like this: 606 607 header := [8]byte{STREAM_TYPE, 0, 0, 0, SIZE1, SIZE2, SIZE3, SIZE4} 608 609 `STREAM_TYPE` can be: 610 611 - 0: stdin (will be written on stdout) 612 - 1: stdout 613 - 2: stderr 614 615 `SIZE1, SIZE2, SIZE3, SIZE4` are the 4 bytes of 616 the uint32 size encoded as big endian. 617 618 **PAYLOAD** 619 620 The payload is the raw stream. 621 622 **IMPLEMENTATION** 623 624 The simplest way to implement the Attach protocol is the following: 625 626 1. Read 8 bytes 627 2. chose stdout or stderr depending on the first byte 628 3. Extract the frame size from the last 4 bytes 629 4. Read the extracted size and output it on the correct output 630 5.

**200** – no error 1397 - **500** – server error 1398 1399 ### Image tarball format 1400 1401 An image tarball contains one directory per image layer (named using its long ID), 1402 each containing three files: 1403 1404 1. `VERSION`: currently `1.0` - the file format version 1405 2. `json`: detailed layer information, similar to `docker inspect layer_id` 1406 3. `layer.tar`: A tarfile containing the filesystem changes in this layer 1407 1408 The `layer.tar` file will contain `aufs` style `.wh..wh.aufs` files and directories 1409 for storing attribute changes and deletions. 1410 1411 If the tarball defines a repository, there will also be a `repositories` file at 1412 the root that contains a list of repository and tag names mapped to layer IDs. 1413 1414 ``` 1415 {"hello-world": 1416 {"latest": "565a9d68a73f6706862bfe8409a7f659776d4d60a8d096eb4a3cbce6999cc2a1"} 1417 } 1418 ``` 1419 1420 # 3. Going further 1421 1422 ## 3.1 Inside `docker run` 1423 1424 As an example, the `docker run` command line makes the following API calls: 1425 1426 - Create the container 1427 1428 - If the status code is 404, it means the image doesn't exist: 1429 - Try to pull it 1430 - Then retry to create the container 1431 1432 - Start the container 1433 1434 - If you are not in detached mode: 1435 - Attach to the container, using logs=1 (to have stdout and 1436 stderr from the container's start) and stream=1 1437 1438 - If in detached mode or only stdin is attached: 1439 - Display the container's id 1440 1441 ## 3.2 Hijacking 1442 1443 In this version of the API, /attach, uses hijacking to transport stdin, 1444 stdout and stderr on the same socket. This might change in the future. 1445 1446 ## 3.3 CORS Requests 1447 1448 To enable cross origin requests to the remote api add the flag 1449 "--api-enable-cors" when running docker in daemon mode. 1450 1451 $ docker -d -H="192.168.1.9:2375" --api-enable-cors
