# Docker Remote API v1.4
# 1. Brief introduction
- The Remote API is replacing rcli
- Default port in the docker daemon is 2375
- The API tends to be REST, but for some complex commands, like attach
or pull, the HTTP connection is hijacked to transport stdout stdin
and stderr
# 2. Endpoints

# 3. Going further
## 3.1 Inside `docker run`
Here are the steps of `docker run` :
- Create the container
- If the status code is 404, it means the image doesn't exists:
- Try to pull it
- Then retry to create the container
- Start the container
- If you are not in detached mode:
- Attach to the container, using logs=1 (to have stdout and
stderr from the container's start) and stream=1
- If in detached mode or only stdin is attached:
- Display the container's id
## 3.2 Hijacking
In this version of the API, /attach, uses hijacking to transport stdin,
stdout and stderr on the same socket. This might change in the future.
## 3.3 CORS Requests
To enable cross origin requests to the remote api add the flag
"api-enable-cors" when running docker in daemon mode.
$ docker -d -H="192.168.1.9:2375" --api-enable-cors
