How to use docker remote api to create container?

问题:

I'm new to docker. I have read the tutorial in docker remote API . In aspect of creating container. It show me too many param to fill. I want to know what is equivalent to this command :

docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --restart=always --name registry registry:2.

I have no idea about it. Can anyone tell me? Thanks!

Original answer (July 2015):

That would be (not tested directly), as in this tutorial (provided the remote API is enabled):

First create the container:

curl -v -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"Image": " registry:2.",}' http://localhost:2376/containers/create?name=registry

Then start it:

curl -v -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"PortBindings": { "5000/tcp": [{ "HostPort": "5000" }] },"RestartPolicy": { "Name": "always",},}' http://localhost:2376/containers/registry/start?name=registry

Update February é017, for docker 1.13+ see rocksteady's answer, using a similar idea but with the current engine/api/v1.26.

回答2:

More or less just copying VonCs answer in order to update to todays version of docker (1.13) and docker remote api version (v1.26).

What is different:

• All the configuration needs to be done when the container is created, otherwise the following error message is returned when starting the container the way VonC did. {"message":"starting container with non-empty request body was deprecated since v1.10 and removed in v1.12"}

First create the container: (including all the configuration) curl -v -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @docker.conf http://localhost:2376/containers/create?name=registry The file docker.conf looks like this:

{
  "Image": registry:2.",
  "ExposedPorts": {
    "5000/tcp": {}
  },
  "HostConfig": {
    "PortBindings": {
      "5000/tcp": [
        {
          "HostPort": "5000"
        }
      ]
    },
    "RestartPolicy": {
      "Name": "always"
    }
    "AutoRemove": true
  }
}

Then start it: (the parameter name is not necessary, the container is just named registry) curl -v -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:2376/containers/registry/start
