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.

Docker v23.0 and up allow the daemon to be configured to have seccomp disabled
by default (using the "unconfined" profile as default), and introduced a new
"builtin" profile-name for the default (see [moby@f8795ed364586acd][1] and
[mnoby@ac449d6b5ad29a50][2]).
However, the CLI had no special handling for the "builtin" profile, which
resulted in it trying to load it as a file, which would fail;
docker run -it --rm --security-opt seccomp=builtin busybox
docker: opening seccomp profile (builtin) failed: open builtin: no such file or directory.
See 'docker run --help'.
This patch adds a special case for the "builtin" profile, to allow using the
default profile on daemons with seccomp disabled (unconfined) by default.

Fixes#4648
Make it easier to specify IPv6 addresses in the '--add-host' option by
permitting 'host=ip' in addition to 'host:ip', and allowing square
brackets around the address.
For example:
--add-host=my-hostname:127.0.0.1
--add-host=my-hostname:::1
--add-host=my-hostname=::1
--add-host=my-hostname:[::1]
To avoid compatibility problems, the CLI will replace an '=' separator
with ':', and strip brackets, before sending the request to the API.

- updates fc6976db45
- updates 74bace156c
Commit fc6976db45 introduced support for the
`bind-recursive` option on `--mount`, and deprecated the `bind-nonrecursive`
option. Unlike `bind-nonrecursive` boolean, the `bind-recursive` option
accepts a string value with multiple options.
For convenience, the `bind-recursive` option also was made to accept boolean
values (true/false, 1/0). However, as the option works as the _reverse_ of
`bind-nonrecursive` (`bind-nonrecursive=true` === `bind-recursive=false`),
the new option won't be a "drop-in" replacement, and having more options
to choose from may only be adding more complexity / cognitive overload.
This patch removes support for boolean values; if we see a need to add
support for boolean values in future, it would be trivial to add back this
functionality.

This attempts to make it clearer that the --cgroup-parent option is only used
for the containers used during build. Instead of mentioning "build container",
I opted for using "RUN instructions" (to match the --network description),
although this may not be ideal (as it assumes the "Dockerfile" front-end, which
of course may not be the case).

In previous versions of the Docker API, `system prune --volumes` and `volume prune`
would remove all dangling volumes. With API v1.42, this was changed so that only
anonymous volumes would be removed unless the all filter was specified.
Some of the docs were updated in #4218, however, there were a couple of places
left that didn't make the anonymous vs named volumes distinction clear.
This replaces #4079, which was bitrotted by #4218. See also #4028.
Closes#4079.

The flag-set that was returned is a pointer to the command's Flags(), which
is in itself passed by reference (as it is modified / set up).
This patch removes the flags return, to prevent assuming it's different than
the command's flags.
While SetupRootCommand is exported, a search showed that it's only used internally,
so changing the signature should not be a problem.

Commit b83bc67136 (v23.0.0, but backported to

Commit ee218fa89e removed support for the

The `oom-score-adjust` option was added to prevent the daemon from being
OOM-killed before other processes. This option was mostly added as a
convenience, as running the daemon as a systemd unit was not yet common.
Having the daemon set its own limits is not best-practice, and something
better handled by the process-manager starting the daemon.
Docker v20.10 and newer no longer adjust the daemon's OOM score by default,
instead setting the OOM-score to the systemd unit (OOMScoreAdjust) that's
shipped with the packages.
Users currently depending on this feature are recommended to adjust the
daemon's OOM score using systemd or through other means, when starting
the daemon.

The IndexServerAddress field was as part of the initial Windows implementation
of the engine. For legal reasons, Microsoft Windows (and thus Docker images
based on Windows) were not allowed to be distributed through non-Microsoft
infrastructure. As a temporary solution, a dedicated "registry-win-tp3.docker.io"
registry was created to serve Windows images.
Currently, this field always shows "https://index.docker.io/v1/", which is
confusing, because that address is not used for the registry (only for
authentication and "v1" search).
docker info
...
Registry: https://index.docker.io/v1/
Starting with b4ca1c7368, this field is also
no longer used during authentication, and a3d56e7d06
removed the (deprecated) ElectAuthServer() which was previously used to
query it.
Given that there's currently no practical use for this information, and
it only adds "noise" (and confusion), this patch removes it from the default
output.
For now, the field is (still) available for those that want to use it;
docker info --format '{{.IndexServerAddress}}'
https://index.docker.io/v1/
But it won't be printed by default.

This patch adds additional information to the Client section of the output.
We were already outputting versions of CLI Plugins, and the Server, but not
for the Client.
Adding this information can help with bug-reports where the reporter only
provided the `docker info` output, or (e.g.) only `docker --version`. The
platform name helps identify what kind of builds the user has installed
(e.g. docker's docker-ce packages have "Docker Engine - Community" set
for this), although we should consider including "packager" information
as a more formalized field for this information.

$ docker info
