# Migrate to Engine 1.10
|
||
|
||
Starting from version 1.10 of Docker Engine, we completely change the way image
|
||
data is addressed on disk. Previously, every image and layer used a randomly
|
||
assigned UUID. In 1.10 we implemented a content addressable method using an ID,
|
||
based on a secure hash of the image and layer data.
|
||
|
||
The new method gives users more security, provides a built-in way to avoid ID
|
||
collisions and guarantee data integrity after pull, push, load, or save. It also
|
||
brings better sharing of layers by allowing many images to freely share their
|
||
layers even if they didn’t come from the same build.
|
||
|
||
Addressing images by their content also lets us more easily detect if something
|
||
has already been downloaded. Because we have separated images and layers, you
|
||
don’t have to pull the configurations for every image that was part of the
|
||
original build chain. We also don’t need to create layers for the build
|
||
instructions that didn’t modify the filesystem.
|
||
|
||
Content addressability is the foundation for the new distribution features. The
|
||
image pull and push code has been reworked to use a download/upload manager
|
||
concept that makes pushing and pulling images much more stable and mitigates any
|
||
parallel request issues. The download manager also brings retries on failed
|
||
downloads and better prioritization for concurrent downloads.
|
||
|
||
We are also introducing a new manifest format that is built on top of the
|
||
content addressable base. It directly references the content addressable image
|
||
configuration and layer checksums. The new manifest format also makes it
|
||
possible for a manifest list to be used for targeting multiple
|
||
architectures/platforms. Moving to the new manifest format will be completely
|
||
transparent.
|
||
|
||
## Preparing for upgrade
|
||
|
||
To make your current images accessible to the new model we have to migrate them
|
||
to content addressable storage. This means calculating the secure checksums for
|
||
your current data.
|
||
|
||
All your current images, tags and containers are automatically migrated to the
|
||
new foundation the first time you start Docker Engine 1.10. Before loading your
|
||
container, the daemon will calculate all needed checksums for your current data,
|
||
and after it has completed, all your images and tags will have brand new secure
|
||
IDs.
|
||
|
||
**While this is simple operation, calculating SHA256 checksums for your files
|
||
can take time if you have lots of image data.** On average you should assume
|
||
that migrator can process data at a speed of 100MB/s. During this time your
|
||
Docker daemon won’t be ready to respond to requests.
|
||
|
||
## Minimizing migration time
|
||
|
||
If you can accept this one time hit, then upgrading Docker Engine and restarting
|
||
the daemon will transparently migrate your images. However, if you want to
|
||
minimize the daemon’s downtime, a migration utility can be run while your old
|
||
daemon is still running.
|
||
|
||
This tool will find all your current images and calculate the checksums for
|
||
them. After you upgrade and restart the daemon, the checksum data of the
|
||
migrated images will already exist, freeing the daemon from that computation
|
||
work. If new images appeared between the migration and the upgrade, those will
|
||
be processed at time of upgrade to 1.10.
|
||
|
||
[You can download the migration tool
|
||
here.](https://github.com/docker/v1.10-migrator/releases)
|
||
|
||
The migration tool can also be run as a Docker image. While running the migrator
|
||
image you need to expose your Docker data directory to the container. If you use
|
||
the default path then you would run:
|
||
|
||
$ docker run --rm -v /var/lib/docker:/var/lib/docker docker/v1.10-migrator
|
||
|
||
If you use the
|
||
devicemapper storage driver, you also need to pass the flag `--privileged` to
|
||
give the tool access to your storage devices.
