Docker Remote API
=================
.. contents:: Table of Contents
1. Brief introduction
=====================
- The Remote API is replacing rcli
- Default port in the docker deamon is 4243
- 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 verson of the API is 1.3
Calling /images/<name>/insert is the same as calling /v1.3/images/<name>/insert
You can still call an old version of the api using /v1.0/images/<name>/insert
:doc:`docker_remote_api_v1.3`
*****************************
What's new
----------
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
.. Note::
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

Deleting an image is now improved, will only untag the image if it has chidrens and remove all the untagged parents if has any.
.. http:post:: /images/<name>/delete now returns a JSON with the list of images deleted/untagged
