## 1. Brief introduction
- The daemon listens on `unix:///var/run/docker.sock` but you can
[Bind Docker to another host/port or a Unix socket](../reference/commandline/dockerd.md#bind-docker-to-another-host-port-or-a-unix-socket).
- The API tends to be REST. However, for some complex commands, like `attach`
or `pull`, the HTTP connection is hijacked to transport `stdout`,
`stdin` and `stderr`.

- **ExposedPorts** - An object mapping ports to an empty object in the form of:
`"ExposedPorts": { "<port>/<tcp|udp>: {}" }`
- **HostConfig**
- **Binds** – A list of bind-mounts for this container. Each item is a string in one of these forms:
+ `host-src:container-dest` to bind-mount a host path into the
container. Both `host-src`, and `container-dest` must be an
_absolute_ path.
+ `host-src:container-dest:ro` to make the bind-mount read-only
inside the container. Both `host-src`, and `container-dest` must be
an _absolute_ path.
- **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 only
work when using the `lxc` execution driver.
- **Memory** - Memory limit in bytes.
- **MemorySwap** - Total memory limit (memory + swap); set `-1` to enable unlimited swap.

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.

**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 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 on `stdout`)
- 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 /v1.20/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):
```json
{
"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 `id` does 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 /v1.20/containers/8cce319429b2/archive?path=/vol1 HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/x-tar
{% raw %}
{{ TAR STREAM }}
{% endraw %}
**Example response**:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
**Status codes**:
- **200** – the content was extracted successfully
- **400** - client error, bad parameter, details in JSON response body, one of:
- must specify path parameter (**path** cannot be empty)
- not a directory (**path** should be a directory but exists as a file)
- unable to overwrite existing directory with non-directory
(if **noOverwriteDirNonDir**)
- unable to overwrite existing non-directory with directory
(if **noOverwriteDirNonDir**)
- **403** - client error, permission denied, the volume
or container rootfs is marked as read-only.
- **404** - client error, resource not found, one of:
– no such container (container `id` does not exist)

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=true`
- `label=key` or `label="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 /v1.20/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*](../reference/builder.md#add)).
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 if `remote` is specified and points to an external `Dockerfile`.
- **t** – A name and optional tag to apply to the image in the `name:tag` format.
If you omit the `tag` the default `latest` value is assumed.
- **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 `Dockerfile` and 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 the `dockerfile` parameter 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), `-1` to 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.
**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 /v1.20/images/create?fromImage=busybox&tag=latest HTTP/1.1
**Example response**:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

When using this endpoint to pull an image from the registry, the
`X-Registry-Auth` header can be used to include
a base64-encoded AuthConfig object.
**Query parameters**:
- **fromImage** – Name of the image to pull.
- **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.
- **repo** – Repository name.
- **tag** – Tag. 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
**Status codes**:
- **200** – no error
- **404** - repository does not exist or no read access

If you wish to push an image on to a private registry, that image must already have a tag
into a repository which references that registry `hostname` and `port`. This repository name should
then be used in the URL. This duplicates the command line's flow.

#### 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](#image-tarball-format) for more details.
**Example request**
GET /v1.20/images/ubuntu/get
**Example response**:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/x-tar
Binary data stream
**Status codes**:
- **200** – no error
- **500** – server error
#### Get a tarball containing all images
`GET /images/get`
Get a tarball containing all images and metadata for one or more repositories.
For each value of the `names` parameter: if it is a specific name and tag (e.g.
`ubuntu:latest`), then only that image (and its parents) are returned; if it is
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.
See the [image tarball format](#image-tarball-format) for more details.
**Example request**
GET /v1.20/images/get?names=myname%2Fmyapp%3Alatest&names=busybox

#### Load a tarball with a set of images and tags into docker
`POST /images/load`
Load a set of images and tags into a Docker repository.
See the [image tarball format](#image-tarball-format) for more details.
**Example request**
POST /v1.20/images/load
Content-Type: application/x-tar
Tarball in body
**Example response**:
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 these files:
- `VERSION`: currently `1.0` - the file format version
- `json`: detailed layer information, similar to `docker inspect layer_id`
- `layer.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. 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 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"
