    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](
    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`.

   587  
   588      **Stream details**:
   589  
   590      When using the TTY setting is enabled in
   591      [`POST /containers/create`
   592      ](/reference/api/docker_remote_api_v1.9/#create-a-container "POST /containers/create"),
   593      the stream is the raw data from the process PTY and client's stdin.
   594      When the TTY is disabled, then the stream is multiplexed to separate
   595      stdout and stderr.
   596  
   597      The format is a **Header** and a **Payload** (frame).
   598  
   599      **HEADER**
   600  
   601      The header will contain the information on which stream write the
   602      stream (stdout or stderr). 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.  Goto 1
   631

  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
