:description: API Documentation for Docker
:keywords: API, Docker, rcli, REST, documentation
.. COMMENT use http://pythonhosted.org/sphinxcontrib-httpdomain/ to
.. document the REST API.
=================
Docker Remote API
=================
.. contents:: Table of Contents
1. Brief introduction
=====================
- The Remote API is replacing rcli
- By default the Docker daemon listens on unix:///var/run/docker.sock and the client must have root access to interact with the daemon
- If a group named *docker* exists on your system, docker will apply ownership of the socket to the group
- 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
- Since API version 1.2, the auth configuration is now handled client
side, so the client has to send the authConfig as POST in
/images/(name)/push
2. Versions
===========
The current version of the API is 1.4
Calling /images/<name>/insert is the same as calling
/v1.4/images/<name>/insert
You can still call an old version of the api using
/v1.0/images/<name>/insert
:doc:`docker_remote_api_v1.4`
*****************************
What's new
----------
.. http:post:: /images/create
**New!** When pull a repo, all images are now downloaded in parallel.
.. http:get:: /containers/(id)/top
**New!** You can now use ps args with docker top, like `docker top <container_id> aux`
.. http:get:: /events:
**New!** Image's name added in the events
:doc:`docker_remote_api_v1.3`
*****************************
docker v0.5.0 51f6c4a_
What's new
----------
.. http:get:: /containers/(id)/top
List the processes running inside a container.
.. http:get:: /events:
**New!** Monitor docker's events via streaming or via polling
Builder (/build):
- Simplify the upload of the build context
- Simply stream a tarball instead of multipart upload with 4
intermediary buffers
- Simpler, less memory usage, less disk usage and faster
.. Warning::
The /build improvements are not reverse-compatible. Pre 1.3 clients
will break on /build.
List containers (/containers/json):
- You can use size=1 to get the size of the containers
Start containers (/containers/<id>/start):
- You can now pass host-specific configuration (e.g. bind mounts) in
the POST body for start calls
:doc:`docker_remote_api_v1.2`
*****************************
docker v0.4.2 2e7649b_
What's new
----------
The auth configuration is now handled by the client.
The client should send it's authConfig as POST on each call of
/images/(name)/push
.. http:get:: /auth
**Deprecated.**
.. http:post:: /auth
Only checks the configuration but doesn't store it on the server
Deleting an image is now improved, will only untag the image if it
has children and remove all the untagged parents if has any.
.. http:post:: /images/<name>/delete
Now returns a JSON structure with the list of images
deleted/untagged.
:doc:`docker_remote_api_v1.1`
*****************************
docker v0.4.0 a8ae398_
What's new
----------
.. http:post:: /images/create
.. http:post:: /images/(name)/insert
.. http:post:: /images/(name)/push
Uses json stream instead of HTML hijack, it looks like this:
.. sourcecode:: http
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
{"status":"Pushing..."}
{"status":"Pushing", "progress":"1/? (n/a)"}
{"error":"Invalid..."}

Docker Remote API Client Libraries
==================================
These libraries have not been tested by the Docker Maintainers for
compatibility. Please file issues with the library owners. If you
find more library implementations, please list them in Docker doc bugs
and we will add the libraries here.
