# Docker Remote API v1.17
## 1. Brief introduction
- The Remote API has replaced `rcli`.
- The daemon listens on `unix:///var/run/docker.sock` but you can
[Bind Docker to another host/port or a Unix socket](../../quickstart.md#bind-docker-to-another-host-port-or-a-unix-socket).
- 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`.

Json Parameters:

container.
- **Domainname** - A string value containing the desired domain name to use
for the container.
- **User** - A string value containing the user to use inside the container.
- **Memory** - Memory limit in bytes.
- **MemorySwap** - Total memory limit (memory + swap); set `-1` to enable unlimited swap.
You must use this with `memory` and make the swap value larger than `memory`.
- **CpuShares** - An integer value containing the CPU Shares for container
(ie. the relative weight vs other containers).
**CpuSet** - String value containing the cgroups Cpuset to use.
- **AttachStdin** - Boolean value, attaches to stdin.
- **AttachStdout** - Boolean value, attaches to stdout.
- **AttachStderr** - Boolean value, attaches to stderr.
- **Tty** - Boolean value, Attach standard streams to a tty, including stdin if it is not closed.
- **OpenStdin** - Boolean value, opens stdin,
- **StdinOnce** - Boolean value, close stdin after the 1 attached client disconnects.
- **Env** - A list of environment variables in the form of `["VAR=value"[,"VAR2=value2"]]`
- **Cmd** - Command to run specified as a string or an array of strings.
- **Entrypoint** - Set the entrypoint for the container a string or an array
of strings
- **Image** - String value containing the image name to use for the container
- **Volumes** – An object mapping mountpoint paths (strings) inside the
container to empty objects.
- **WorkingDir** - A string value containing the working dir for commands to
run in.
- **NetworkDisabled** - Boolean value, when true disables networking for the
container
- **ExposedPorts** - An object mapping ports to an empty object in the form of:
`"ExposedPorts": { "<port>/<tcp|udp>: {}" }`
- **HostConfig**
- **Binds** – A list of volume bindings for this container. Each volume
binding is a string of the form `container_path` (to create a new
volume for the container), `host_path:container_path` (to bind-mount
a host path into the container), or `host_path:container_path:ro`
(to make the bind-mount read-only inside the container).
- **Links** - A list of links for the container. Each link entry should be
in the form of "container_name:alias".
- **LxcConf** - LXC specific configurations. These configurations will only
work when using the `lxc` execution driver.
- **PortBindings** - A map of exposed container ports and the host port they
should map to. It should be specified in the form
`{ <port>/<protocol>: [{ "HostPort": "<port>" }] }`
Take note that `port` is specified as a string and not an integer value.
- **PublishAllPorts** - Allocates a random host port for all of a container's
exposed ports. Specified as a boolean value.
- **Privileged** - Gives the container full access to the host. Specified as
a boolean value.
- **ReadonlyRootfs** - Mount the container's root filesystem as read only.
Specified as a boolean value.
- **Dns** - A list of dns servers for the container to use.
- **DnsSearch** - A list of DNS search domains

Specified in the form `<container name>[:<ro|rw>]`
- **CapAdd** - A list of kernel capabilities to add to the container.
- **Capdrop** - A list of kernel capabilities to drop from the container.
- **RestartPolicy** – The behavior to apply when the container exits. The
value is an object with a `Name` property of either `"always"` to
always restart or `"on-failure"` to restart only when the container
exit code is non-zero. If `on-failure` is used, `MaximumRetryCount`
controls the number of times to retry before giving up.
The default is not to restart. (optional)
An ever increasing delay (double the previous delay, starting at 100mS)
is added before each restart to prevent flooding the server.
- **NetworkMode** - Sets the networking mode for the container. Supported
values are: `bridge`, `host`, `none`, and `container:<name|id>`
- **Devices** - A list of devices to add to the container specified in the
form
`{ "PathOnHost": "/dev/deviceName", "PathInContainer": "/dev/deviceName", "CgroupPermissions": "mrw"}`
- **SecurityOpt**: A list of string values to customize labels for MLS
systems, such as SELinux.
Query Parameters:
- **name** – Assign the specified name to the container. Must
match `/?[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+`.
Status Codes:
- **201** – no error
- **404** – no such container

stderr log, if stream=true, attach to stderr. Default false
Status Codes:
- **101** – no error, hints proxy about hijacking
- **200** – no error, no upgrade header found
- **400** – bad parameter
- **404** – no such container
- **500** – server error
**Stream details**:
When using the TTY setting is enabled in
[`POST /containers/create`
](#create-a-container),
the stream is the raw data from the process PTY and client's stdin.
When the TTY is disabled, then the stream is multiplexed to separate
stdout and stderr.
The format is a **Header** and a **Payload** (frame).
**HEADER**
The header will contain the information on which stream write the
stream (stdout or stderr). It also contain the size of the
associated frame encoded on the last 4 bytes (uint32).
It is encoded on the first 8 bytes like this:
header := [8]byte{STREAM_TYPE, 0, 0, 0, SIZE1, SIZE2, SIZE3, SIZE4}
`STREAM_TYPE` can be:
- 0: stdin (will be written on stdout)
- 1: stdout
- 2: stderr
`SIZE1, SIZE2, SIZE3, SIZE4` are the 4 bytes of
the uint32 size encoded as big endian.
**PAYLOAD**
The payload is the raw stream.
**IMPLEMENTATION**
The simplest way to implement the Attach protocol is the following:
1. Read 8 bytes
2. chose stdout or stderr depending on the first byte
3. Extract the frame size from the last 4 bytes
4. Read the extracted size and output it on the correct output
5. Goto 1

**Example response**:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/x-tar

an image ID, similarly only that image (and its parents) are returned and there
would be no names referenced in the 'repositories' file for this image ID.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Status Codes:
- **200** – no error
- **500** – server error
### Image tarball format
An image tarball contains one directory per image layer (named using its long ID),
each containing three files:
1. `VERSION`: currently `1.0` - the file format version
2. `json`: detailed layer information, similar to `docker inspect layer_id`
3. `layer.tar`: A tarfile containing the filesystem changes in this layer
The `layer.tar` file will contain `aufs` style `.wh..wh.aufs` files and directories
for storing attribute changes and deletions.
If the tarball defines a repository, there will also be a `repositories` file at
the root that contains a list of repository and tag names mapped to layer IDs.
```

{"latest": "565a9d68a73f6706862bfe8409a7f659776d4d60a8d096eb4a3cbce6999cc2a1"}

Status Codes:
- **200** – no error
- **404** – no such exec instance
- **500** - server error
# 3. Going further
## 3.1 Inside `docker run`
As an example, the `docker run` command line makes the following API calls:
- Create the container
- If the status code is 404, it means the image doesn't exist:
- 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.
To hint potential proxies about connection hijacking, Docker client sends
connection upgrade headers similarly to websocket.
Upgrade: tcp
Connection: Upgrade
When Docker daemon detects the `Upgrade` header, it will switch its status code
from **200 OK** to **101 UPGRADED** and resend the same headers.
This might change in the future.
## 3.3 CORS Requests
To set cross origin requests to the remote api, please add flag "--api-enable-cors"
when running docker in daemon mode.
$ docker -d -H="192.168.1.9:2375" --api-enable-cors
