These query-args were documented, but not actually supported until
ea6760138c (API v1.42).
This removes them from the documentation, as these arguments were ignored
(and defaulted to `true` (enabled))

1. Brief introduction
- The daemon listens on
unix:///var/run/docker.sockbut you can Bind Docker to another host/port or a Unix socket. - The API tends to be REST. However, for some complex commands, like
attachorpull, the HTTP connection is hijacked to transportstdout,stdinandstderr. - A
Content-Lengthheader should be present inPOSTrequests to endpoints that expect a body. - To lock to a specific version of the API, you prefix the URL with the version
of the API to use. For example,
/v1.18/info. If no version is included in the URL, the maximum supported API version is used. - If the API version specified in the URL is not supported by the daemon, a HTTP
400 Bad Requesterror message is returned.

Stream details:
When using the TTY setting is enabled in
POST /containers/create
,
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 contains the information which the stream writes (stdout or
stderr). It also contains the size of the associated frame encoded in the
last four bytes (uint32).
It is encoded on the first eight bytes like this:
header := [8]byte{STREAM_TYPE, 0, 0, 0, SIZE1, SIZE2, SIZE3, SIZE4}
STREAM_TYPE can be:
- 0:
stdin(is written onstdout) - 1:
stdout - 2:
stderr
SIZE1, SIZE2, SIZE3, SIZE4 are the four 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 eight bytes.
2. Choose `stdout` or `stderr` depending on the first byte.
3. Extract the frame size from the last four bytes.
4. Read the extracted size and output it on the correct output.
5. Goto 1.

Retrieving information about files and folders in a container
HEAD /containers/(id or name)/archive
See the description of the X-Docker-Container-Path-Stat header in the
following section.
Get an archive of a filesystem resource in a container
GET /containers/(id or name)/archive
Get a tar archive of a resource in the filesystem of container id.
Query parameters:
-
path - resource in the container's filesystem to archive. Required.
If not an absolute path, it is relative to the container's root directory. The resource specified by path must exist. To assert that the resource is expected to be a directory, path should end in
/or/.(assuming a path separator of/). If path ends in/.then this indicates that only the contents of the path directory should be copied. A symlink is always resolved to its target.Note
: It is not possible to copy certain system files such as resources under
/proc,/sys,/dev, and mounts created by the user in the container.
Example request:
GET /v1.23/containers/8cce319429b2/archive?path=/root HTTP/1.1
Example response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/x-tar

{% raw %}
{{ TAR STREAM }}
{% endraw %}
On success, a response header X-Docker-Container-Path-Stat will be set to a
base64-encoded JSON object containing some filesystem header information about
the archived resource. The above example value would decode to the following
JSON object (whitespace added for readability):
{
"name": "root",
"size": 4096,
"mode": 2147484096,
"mtime": "2014-02-27T20:51:23Z",
"linkTarget": ""
}
A HEAD request can also be made to this endpoint if only this information is
desired.
Status codes:
- 200 - success, returns archive of copied resource
- 400 - client error, bad parameter, details in JSON response body, one of:
- must specify path parameter (path cannot be empty)
- not a directory (path was asserted to be a directory but exists as a file)
- 404 - client error, resource not found, one of:
– no such container (container
iddoes not exist)- no such file or directory (path does not exist)
- 500 - server error
Extract an archive of files or folders to a directory in a container
PUT /containers/(id or name)/archive
Upload a tar archive to be extracted to a path in the filesystem of container
id.
Query parameters:
-
path - path to a directory in the container to extract the archive's contents into. Required.
If not an absolute path, it is relative to the container's root directory. The path resource must exist.
-
noOverwriteDirNonDir - If "1", "true", or "True" then it will be an error if unpacking the given content would cause an existing directory to be replaced with a non-directory and vice versa.
Example request:
PUT /v1.23/containers/8cce319429b2/archive?path=/vol1 HTTP/1.1

The response shows a single image Id associated with two repositories
(RepoTags): localhost:5000/test/busybox: and playdate. A caller can use
either of the RepoTags values localhost:5000/test/busybox:latest or
playdate:latest to reference the image.
You can also use RepoDigests values to reference an image. In this response,
the array has only one reference and that is to the
localhost:5000/test/busybox repository; the playdate repository has no
digest. You can reference this digest using the value:
localhost:5000/test/busybox@sha256:cbbf2f9a99b47fc460d...
See the docker run and docker build commands for examples of digest and tag
references on the command line.
Query parameters:
- all – 1/True/true or 0/False/false, default false
- filters – a JSON encoded value of the filters (a map[string][]string) to process on the images list. Available filters:
dangling=truelabel=keyorlabel="key=value"of an image label- filter - only return images with the specified name
Build image from a Dockerfile
POST /build
Build an image from a Dockerfile
Example request:
POST /v1.23/build HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/x-tar
{% raw %}
{{ TAR STREAM }}
{% endraw %}
Example response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
{"stream": "Step 1/5..."}
{"stream": "..."}
{"error": "Error...", "errorDetail": {"code": 123, "message": "Error..."}}
The input stream must be a tar archive compressed with one of the
following algorithms: identity (no compression), gzip, bzip2, xz.
The archive must include a build instructions file, typically called
Dockerfile at the archive's root. The dockerfile parameter may be
used to specify a different build instructions file. To do this, its value must be
the path to the alternate build instructions file to use.
The archive may include any number of other files, which are accessible in the build context (See the ADD build command).
The Docker daemon performs a preliminary validation of the Dockerfile before
starting the build, and returns an error if the syntax is incorrect. After that,
each instruction is run one-by-one until the ID of the new image is output.
The build is canceled if the client drops the connection by quitting or being killed.
Query parameters:
- dockerfile - Path within the build context to the
Dockerfile. This is ignored ifremoteis specified and points to an externalDockerfile. - t – A name and optional tag to apply to the image in the
name:tagformat. If you omit thetagthe defaultlatestvalue is assumed. You can provide one or moretparameters. - remote – A Git repository URI or HTTP/HTTPS context URI. If the
URI points to a single text file, the file's contents are placed into
a file called
Dockerfileand the image is built from that file. If the URI points to a tarball, the file is downloaded by the daemon and the contents therein used as the context for the build. If the URI points to a tarball and thedockerfileparameter is also specified, there must be a file with the corresponding path inside the tarball. - q – Suppress verbose build output.
- nocache – Do not use the cache when building the image.
- pull - Attempt to pull the image even if an older image exists locally.
- rm - Remove intermediate containers after a successful build (default behavior).
- forcerm - Always remove intermediate containers (includes
rm). - memory - Set memory limit for build.
- memswap - Total memory (memory + swap),
-1to enable unlimited swap. - cpushares - CPU shares (relative weight).
- cpusetcpus - CPUs in which to allow execution (e.g.,
0-3,0,1). - cpuperiod - The length of a CPU period in microseconds.
- cpuquota - Microseconds of CPU time that the container can get in a CPU period.
- buildargs – JSON map of string pairs for build-time variables. Users pass
these values at build-time. Docker uses the
buildargsas the environment context for command(s) run via the Dockerfile'sRUNinstruction or for variable expansion in other Dockerfile instructions. This is not meant for passing secret values. Read more about the buildargs instruction - shmsize - Size of
/dev/shmin bytes. The size must be greater than 0. If omitted the system uses 64MB. - labels – JSON map of string pairs for labels to set on the image.
Request Headers:
-
Content-type – Set to
"application/x-tar". -
X-Registry-Config – A base64-url-safe-encoded Registry Auth Config JSON object with the following structure:
{ "docker.example.com": { "username": "janedoe", "password": "hunter2" }, "https://index.docker.io/v1/": { "username": "mobydock", "password": "conta1n3rize14" } }This object maps the hostname of a registry to an object containing the "username" and "password" for that registry. Multiple registries may be specified as the build may be based on an image requiring authentication to pull from any arbitrary registry. Only the registry domain name (and port if not the default "443") are required. However (for legacy reasons) the "official" Docker, Inc. hosted registry must be specified with both a "https://" prefix and a "/v1/" suffix even though Docker will prefer to use the v2 registry API.
Status codes:
- 200 – no error
- 500 – server error
Create an image
POST /images/create
Create an image either by pulling it from the registry or by importing it
Example request:
POST /v1.23/images/create?fromImage=busybox&tag=latest HTTP/1.1
Example response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

X-Registry-Auth header can be used to include
a base64-encoded AuthConfig object.
Query parameters:
- fromImage – Name of the image to pull. The name may include a tag or digest. This parameter may only be used when pulling an image. The pull is cancelled if the HTTP connection is closed.
- fromSrc – Source to import. The value may be a URL from which the image
can be retrieved or
-to read the image from the request body. This parameter may only be used when importing an image. - repo – Repository name given to an image when it is imported. The repo may include a tag. This parameter may only be used when importing an image.
- tag – Tag or digest. If empty when pulling an image, this causes all tags for the given image to be pulled.
Request Headers:
-
X-Registry-Auth – base64-encoded AuthConfig object, containing either login information, or a token
-
Credential based login:

Get a tarball containing all images in a repository
GET /images/(name)/get
Get a tarball containing all images and metadata for the repository specified
by name.
If name is a specific name and tag (e.g. ubuntu:latest), then only that image
(and its parents) are returned. If name is an image ID, similarly only that
image (and its parents) are returned, but with the exclusion of the
'repositories' file in the tarball, as there were no image names referenced.
See the image tarball format for more details.

Image tarball format
An image tarball contains one directory per image layer (named using its long ID), each containing these files:
VERSION: currently1.0- the file format versionjson: detailed layer information, similar todocker inspect layer_idlayer.tar: A tarfile containing the filesystem changes in this layer
The layer.tar file contains aufs style .wh..wh.aufs files and directories
for storing attribute changes and deletions.
If the tarball defines a repository, the tarball should also include a repositories file at
the root that contains a list of repository and tag names mapped to layer IDs.

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

If in detached mode or only
stdinis 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 switches its status code
from 200 OK to 101 UPGRADED and resends the same headers.
3.3 CORS Requests
To set cross origin requests to the Engine API please give values to
--api-cors-header when running Docker in daemon mode. Set * (asterisk) allows all,
default or blank means CORS disabled
$ dockerd -H="192.168.1.9:2375" --api-cors-header="http://foo.bar"
