deprecate old API versions (1.23 and lower)
The Docker daemon provides a versioned API for backward compatibility with old clients. Docker clients can perform API-version negotiation to select the most recent API version supported by the daemon (downgrading to and older version of the API when necessary). API version negotiation was introduced in Docker v1.12.0 (API 1.24), and clients before that used a fixed API version. Docker Engine versions through v25.0 provide support for all [API versions](https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/#api-version-matrix) included in stable releases for a given platform. For Docker daemons on Linux, the earliest supported API version is 1.12 (corresponding with Docker Engine v1.0.0), whereas for Docker daemons on Windows, the earliest supported API version is 1.24 (corresponding with Docker Engine v1.12.0). Support for legacy API versions (providing old API versions on current versions of the Docker Engine) is primarily intended to provide compatibility with recent, but still supported versions of the client, which is a common scenario (the Docker daemon may be updated to the latest release, but not all clients may be up-to-date or vice versa). Support for API versions before that (API versions provided by EOL versions of the Docker Daemon) is provided on a "best effort" basis. Use of old API versions is very rare, and support for legacy API versions involves significant complexity (Docker 1.0.0 having been released 10 years ago). Because of this, we'll start deprecating support for legacy API versions. Docker Engine v25.0 by default disables API version older than 1.24 (aligning the minimum supported API version between Linux and Windows daemons). When connecting with a client that uses an API version version older than 1.24, the daemon returns an error. The following example configures the docker CLI to use API version 1.23, which produces an error: DOCKER_API_VERSION=1.23 docker version Error response from daemon: client version 1.23 is too old. Minimum supported API version is 1.24, please upgrade your client to a newer version An environment variable (`DOCKER_MIN_API_VERSION`) is introduced that allows re-enabling older API versions in the daemon. This environment variable must be set in the daemon's environment (for example, through a [systemd override file](https://docs.docker.com/config/daemon/systemd/)), and the specified API version must be supported by the daemon (`1.12` or higher on Linux, or `1.24` or higher on Windows). Support for API versions lower than `1.24` will be permanently removed in Docker Engine v26, and the minimum supported API version will be incrementally raised in releases following that. We do not recommend depending on the `DOCKER_MIN_API_VERSION` environment variable other than for exceptional cases where it's not possible to update old clients, and those clients must be supported.

### Deprecate legacy API versions
|

|

**Deprecated in Release: v25.0**
|
||||
**Target For Removal In Release: v26.0**
|

The Docker daemon provides a versioned API for backward compatibility with old
|
||||
clients. Docker clients can perform API-version negotiation to select the most
|
||||
recent API version supported by the daemon (downgrading to and older version of
|
||||
the API when necessary). API version negotiation was introduced in Docker v1.12.0
|
||||
(API 1.24), and clients before that used a fixed API version.
|
||||
|
||||
Docker Engine versions through v25.0 provide support for all [API versions](https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/#api-version-matrix)
|
||||
included in stable releases for a given platform. For Docker daemons on Linux,
|
||||
the earliest supported API version is 1.12 (corresponding with Docker Engine
|
||||
v1.0.0), whereas for Docker daemons on Windows, the earliest supported API
|
||||
version is 1.24 (corresponding with Docker Engine v1.12.0).
|
||||
|
||||
Support for legacy API versions (providing old API versions on current versions
|
||||
of the Docker Engine) is primarily intended to provide compatibility with recent,
|
||||
but still supported versions of the client, which is a common scenario (the Docker
|
||||
daemon may be updated to the latest release, but not all clients may be up-to-date
|
||||
or vice versa). Support for API versions before that (API versions provided by
|
||||
EOL versions of the Docker Daemon) is provided on a "best effort" basis.
|
||||
|
||||
Use of old API versions is very rare, and support for legacy API versions
|
||||
involves significant complexity (Docker 1.0.0 having been released 10 years ago).
|
||||
Because of this, we'll start deprecating support for legacy API versions.
|
||||
|
||||
Docker Engine v25.0 by default disables API version older than 1.24 (aligning
|
||||
the minimum supported API version between Linux and Windows daemons). When
|
||||
connecting with a client that uses an API version version older than 1.24,
|
||||
the daemon returns an error. The following example configures the docker
|
||||
CLI to use API version 1.23, which produces an error:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
DOCKER_API_VERSION=1.23 docker version
|
||||
Error response from daemon: client version 1.23 is too old. Minimum supported API version is 1.24, please upgrade your client to a newer version
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
An environment variable (`DOCKER_MIN_API_VERSION`) is introduced that allows
|
||||
re-enabling older API versions in the daemon. This environment variable must
|
||||
be set in the daemon's environment (for example, through a [systemd override
|
||||
file](https://docs.docker.com/config/daemon/systemd/)), and the specified
|
||||
API version must be supported by the daemon (`1.12` or higher on Linux, or
|
||||
`1.24` or higher on Windows).
|
||||
|
||||
Support for API versions lower than `1.24` will be permanently removed in Docker
|
||||
Engine v26, and the minimum supported API version will be incrementally raised
|
||||
in releases following that.
|
||||
|
||||
We do not recommend depending on the `DOCKER_MIN_API_VERSION` environment
|
||||
variable other than for exceptional cases where it's not possible to update
|
||||
old clients, and those clients must be supported.
