    12  # Docker Remote API v1.15
    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`.

   241    -   **RestartPolicy** – The behavior to apply when the container exits.  The
   242            value is an object with a `Name` property of either `"always"` to
   243            always restart or `"on-failure"` to restart only when the container
   244            exit code is non-zero.  If `on-failure` is used, `MaximumRetryCount`
   245            controls the number of times to retry before giving up.
   246            The default is not to restart. (optional)
   247            An ever increasing delay (double the previous delay, starting at 100mS)
   248            is added before each restart to prevent flooding the server.
   249    -   **NetworkMode** - Sets the networking mode for the container. Supported

   260  Status Codes:
   261  
   262  -   **201** – no error
   263  -   **404** – no such container
   264  -   **406** – impossible to attach (container not running)
   265  -   **500** – server error

   541  
   542          HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
   543  
   544  Json Parameters:
   545  
   546  -   **Binds** – A list of volume bindings for this container.  Each volume
   547          binding is a string of the form `container_path` (to create a new
   548          volume for the container), `host_path:container_path` (to bind-mount
   549          a host path into the container), or `host_path:container_path:ro`
   550          (to make the bind-mount read-only inside the container).
   551  -   **Links** - A list of links for the container.  Each link entry should be of
   552        of the form "container_name:alias".
   553  -   **LxcConf** - LXC specific configurations.  These configurations will only
   554        work when using the `lxc` execution driver.
   555  -   **PortBindings** - A map of exposed container ports and the host port they
   556        should map to. It should be specified in the form
   557        `{ <port>/<protocol>: [{ "HostPort": "<port>" }] }`
   558        Take note that `port` is specified as a string and not an integer value.
   559  -   **PublishAllPorts** - Allocates a random host port for all of a container's
   560        exposed ports. Specified as a boolean value.
   561  -   **Privileged** - Gives the container full access to the host.  Specified as
   562        a boolean value.
   563  -   **Dns** - A list of dns servers for the container to use.
   564  -   **DnsSearch** - A list of DNS search domains
   565  -   **VolumesFrom** - A list of volumes to inherit from another container.
   566        Specified in the form `<container name>[:<ro|rw>]`
   567  -   **CapAdd** - A list of kernel capabilities to add to the container.
   568  -   **Capdrop** - A list of kernel capabilities to drop from the container.
   569  -   **RestartPolicy** – The behavior to apply when the container exits.  The
   570          value is an object with a `Name` property of either `"always"` to
   571          always restart or `"on-failure"` to restart only when the container
   572          exit code is non-zero.  If `on-failure` is used, `MaximumRetryCount`
   573          controls the number of times to retry before giving up.
   574          The default is not to restart. (optional)
   575          An ever increasing delay (double the previous delay, starting at 100mS)
   576          is added before each restart to prevent flooding the server.
   577  -   **NetworkMode** - Sets the networking mode for the container. Supported
   578        values are: `bridge`, `host`, and `container:<name|id>`
   579  -   **Devices** - A list of devices to add to the container specified in the
   580        form
   581        `{ "PathOnHost": "/dev/deviceName", "PathInContainer": "/dev/deviceName", "CgroupPermissions": "mrw"}`

   727          to stdin. Default false
   728  -   **stdout** – 1/True/true or 0/False/false, if logs=true, return
   729          stdout log, if stream=true, attach to stdout. Default false

   738  -   **500** – server error
   739  
   740      **Stream details**:
   741  
   742      When using the TTY setting is enabled in
   743      [`POST /containers/create`
   744      ](/reference/api/docker_remote_api_v1.9/#create-a-container "POST /containers/create"),
   745      the stream is the raw data from the process PTY and client's stdin.
   746      When the TTY is disabled, then the stream is multiplexed to separate
   747      stdout and stderr.
   748  
   749      The format is a **Header** and a **Payload** (frame).
   750  
   751      **HEADER**
   752  
   753      The header will contain the information on which stream write the
   754      stream (stdout or stderr). It also contain the size of the
   755      associated frame encoded on the last 4 bytes (uint32).
   756  
   757      It is encoded on the first 8 bytes like this:
   758  
   759          header := [8]byte{STREAM_TYPE, 0, 0, 0, SIZE1, SIZE2, SIZE3, SIZE4}
   760  
   761      `STREAM_TYPE` can be:
   762  
   763  -   0: stdin (will be written on stdout)
   764  -   1: stdout
   765  -   2: stderr
   766  
   767      `SIZE1, SIZE2, SIZE3, SIZE4` are the 4 bytes of
   768      the uint32 size encoded as big endian.
   769  
   770      **PAYLOAD**
   771  
   772      The payload is the raw stream.
   773  
   774      **IMPLEMENTATION**
   775  
   776      The simplest way to implement the Attach protocol is the following:
   777  
   778      1.  Read 8 bytes
   779      2.  chose stdout or stderr depending on the first byte
   780      3.  Extract the frame size from the last 4 bytes
   781      4.  Read the extracted size and output it on the correct output
   782      5.  Goto 1
   783

  1502  ### Get a tarball containing all images in a repository
  1503  
  1504  `GET /images/(name)/get`
  1505  
  1506  Get a tarball containing all images and metadata for the repository specified
  1507  by `name`.
  1508  
  1509  If `name` is a specific name and tag (e.g. ubuntu:latest), then only that image
  1510  (and its parents) are returned. If `name` is an image ID, similarly only that
  1511  image (and its parents) are returned, but with the exclusion of the
  1512  'repositories' file in the tarball, as there were no image names referenced.
  1513  
  1514  See the [image tarball format](#image-tarball-format) for more details.

  1535  
  1536  Get a tarball containing all images and metadata for one or more repositories.
  1537  
  1538  For each value of the `names` parameter: if it is a specific name and tag (e.g.
  1539  ubuntu:latest), then only that image (and its parents) are returned; if it is
  1540  an image ID, similarly only that image (and its parents) are returned and there
  1541  would be no names referenced in the 'repositories' file for this image ID.
  1542

  1583  ### Image tarball format
  1584  
  1585  An image tarball contains one directory per image layer (named using its long ID),
  1586  each containing three files:
  1587  
  1588  1. `VERSION`: currently `1.0` - the file format version
  1589  2. `json`: detailed layer information, similar to `docker inspect layer_id`
  1590  3. `layer.tar`: A tarfile containing the filesystem changes in this layer
  1591  
  1592  The `layer.tar` file will contain `aufs` style `.wh..wh.aufs` files and directories
  1593  for storing attribute changes and deletions.
  1594  
  1595  If the tarball defines a repository, there will also be a `repositories` file at
  1596  the root that contains a list of repository and tag names mapped to layer IDs.
  1597  
  1598  ```
  1599  {"hello-world":
  1600      {"latest": "565a9d68a73f6706862bfe8409a7f659776d4d60a8d096eb4a3cbce6999cc2a1"}
  1601  }
  1602  ```
  1603  
  1604  ### Exec Create
  1605  
  1606  `POST /containers/(id)/exec`
  1607  
  1608  Sets up an exec instance in a running container `id`
  1609  
  1610  **Example request**:
  1611  
  1612          POST /containers/e90e34656806/exec HTTP/1.1
  1613          Content-Type: application/json

  1631               "Id": "f90e34656806"
  1632          }
  1633  
  1634  Json Parameters:
  1635  
  1636  -   **AttachStdin** - Boolean value, attaches to stdin of the exec command.
  1637  -   **AttachStdout** - Boolean value, attaches to stdout of the exec command.
  1638  -   **AttachStderr** - Boolean value, attaches to stderr of the exec command.
  1639  -   **Tty** - Boolean value to allocate a pseudo-TTY
  1640  -   **Cmd** - Command to run specified as a string or an array of strings.
  1641

  1648  ### Exec Start
  1649  
  1650  `POST /exec/(id)/start`
  1651  
  1652  Starts a previously set up exec instance `id`. If `detach` is true, this API
  1653  returns after starting the `exec` command. Otherwise, this API sets up an
  1654  interactive session with the `exec` command.
  1655  
  1656  **Example request**:
  1657  
  1658          POST /exec/e90e34656806/start HTTP/1.1
  1659          Content-Type: application/json

  1667  
  1668          HTTP/1.1 201 OK
  1669          Content-Type: application/json
  1670  
  1671          {{ STREAM }}
  1672  
  1673  Json Parameters:
  1674  
  1675  -   **Detach** - Detach from the exec command
  1676  -   **Tty** - Boolean value to allocate a pseudo-TTY
  1677  
  1678  Status Codes:
  1679  
  1680  -   **201** – no error
  1681  -   **404** – no such exec instance
  1682  
  1683      **Stream details**:
  1684      Similar to the stream behavior of `POST /container/(id)/attach` API
  1685  
  1686  ### Exec Resize
  1687  
  1688  `POST /exec/(id)/resize`
  1689  
  1690  Resizes the tty session used by the exec command `id`.
  1691  This API is valid only if `tty` was specified as part of creating and starting the exec command.
  1692  
  1693  **Example request**:
  1694  
  1695          POST /exec/e90e34656806/resize HTTP/1.1
  1696          Content-Type: plain/text
  1697

  1702  
  1703  Query Parameters:
  1704  
  1705  -   **h** – height of tty session
  1706  -   **w** – width
  1707  
  1708  Status Codes:
  1709  
  1710  -   **201** – no error
  1711  -   **404** – no such exec instance
  1712  
  1713  # 3. Going further
  1714  
  1715  ## 3.1 Inside `docker run`
  1716  
  1717  As an example, the `docker run` command line makes the following API calls:
  1718  
  1719  - Create the container
  1720  
  1721  - If the status code is 404, it means the image doesn't exist:
  1722      - Try to pull it
  1723      - Then retry to create the container
  1724  
  1725  - Start the container
  1726  
  1727  - If you are not in detached mode:
  1728  - Attach to the container, using logs=1 (to have stdout and
  1729        stderr from the container's start) and stream=1
  1730  
  1731  - If in detached mode or only stdin is attached:
  1732  - Display the container's id
  1733  
  1734  ## 3.2 Hijacking
  1735  
  1736  In this version of the API, /attach, uses hijacking to transport stdin,
  1737  stdout and stderr on the same socket. This might change in the future.
  1738  
  1739  ## 3.3 CORS Requests
  1740  
  1741  To enable cross origin requests to the remote api add the flag
  1742  "--api-enable-cors" when running docker in daemon mode.
  1743  
  1744      $ docker -d -H="192.168.1.9:2375" --api-enable-cors
