Remote API v1.18 (Engine)

Docker Remote API v1.18

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.
• 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.
• When the client API version is newer than the daemon’s, these calls return an HTTP 400 Bad Request error message.
