![]() This changes the default ipc mode of daemon/engine to be private, meaning the containers will not have their /dev/shm bind-mounted from the host by default. The benefits of doing this are: 1. No leaked mounts. Eliminate a possibility to leak mounts into other namespaces (and therefore unfortunate errors like "Unable to remove filesystem for <ID>: remove /var/lib/docker/containers/<ID>/shm: device or resource busy"). 2. Working checkpoint/restore. Make `docker checkpoint` not lose the contents of `/dev/shm`, but save it to the dump, and be restored back upon `docker start --checkpoint` (currently it is lost -- while CRIU handles tmpfs mounts, the "shareable" mount is seen as external to container, and thus rightfully ignored). 3. Better security. Currently any container is opened to share its /dev/shm with any other container. Obviously, this change will break the following usage scenario: $ docker run -d --name donor busybox top $ docker run --rm -it --ipc container:donor busybox sh Error response from daemon: linux spec namespaces: can't join IPC of container <ID>: non-shareable IPC (hint: use IpcMode:shareable for the donor container) The soution, as hinted by the (amended) error message, is to explicitly enable donor sharing by using --ipc shareable: $ docker run -d --name donor --ipc shareable busybox top Compatibility notes: 1. This only applies to containers created _after_ this change. Existing containers are not affected and will work fine as their ipc mode is stored in HostConfig. 2. Old backward compatible behavior ("shareable" containers by default) can be enabled by either using `--default-ipc-mode shareable` daemon command line option, or by adding a `"default-ipc-mode": "shareable"` line in `/etc/docker/daemon.json` configuration file. 3. If an older client (API < 1.40) is used, a "shareable" container is created. A test to check that is added. Signed-off-by: Kir Kolyshkin <kolyshkin@gmail.com> |

Working on the Engine API
The Engine API is an HTTP API used by the command-line client to communicate with the daemon. It can also be used by third-party software to control the daemon.
It consists of various components in this repository:
api/swagger.yaml
A Swagger definition of the API.api/types/
Types shared by both the client and server, representing various objects, options, responses, etc. Most are written manually, but some are automatically generated from the Swagger definition. See #27919 for progress on this.cli/
The command-line client.client/
The Go client used by the command-line client. It can also be used by third-party Go programs.daemon/
The daemon, which serves the API.
Swagger definition
The API is defined by the Swagger definition in api/swagger.yaml
. This definition can be used to:
- Automatically generate documentation.
- Automatically generate the Go server and client. (A work-in-progress.)
- Provide a machine readable version of the API for introspecting what it can do, automatically generating clients for other languages, etc.
Updating the API documentation
The API documentation is generated entirely from api/swagger.yaml
. If you make updates to the API, edit this file to represent the change in the documentation.
The file is split into two main sections:
definitions
, which defines re-usable objects used in requests and responsespaths
, which defines the API endpoints (and some inline objects which don't need to be reusable)
To make an edit, first look for the endpoint you want to edit under paths
, then make the required edits. Endpoints may reference reusable objects with $ref
, which can be found in the definitions
section.
There is hopefully enough example material in the file for you to copy a similar pattern from elsewhere in the file (e.g. adding new fields or endpoints), but for the full reference, see the Swagger specification.
swagger.yaml
is validated by hack/validate/swagger
to ensure it is a valid Swagger definition. This is useful when making edits to ensure you are doing the right thing.
Viewing the API documentation
When you make edits to swagger.yaml
, you may want to check the generated API documentation to ensure it renders correctly.
Run make swagger-docs
and a preview will be running at http://localhost
. Some of the styling may be incorrect, but you'll be able to ensure that it is generating the correct documentation.
The production documentation is generated by vendoring swagger.yaml
into docker/docker.github.io.
