Deprecated Engine Features
The following list of features are deprecated in Engine.
-e
and --email
flags on docker login
Deprecated In Release: v1.11
Target For Removal In Release: v1.13
The docker login command is removing the ability to automatically register for an account with the target registry if the given username doesn’t exist. Due to this change, the email flag is no longer required, and will be deprecated.
Separator (:
) of --security-opt
flag on docker run
Deprecated In Release: v1.11
Target For Removal In Release: v1.13
The flag --security-opt
doesn’t use the colon separator(:
) anymore to divide keys and values, it uses the equal symbol(=
) for consinstency with other similar flags, like --storage-opt
.
Ambiguous event fields in API
Deprecated In Release: v1.10
The fields ID
, Status
and From
in the events API have been deprecated in favor of a more rich structure. See the events API documentation for the new format.
-f
flag on docker tag
Deprecated In Release: v1.10
Target For Removal In Release: v1.12
To make tagging consistent across the various docker
commands, the -f
flag on the docker tag
command is deprecated. It is not longer necessary to specify -f
to move a tag from one image to another. Nor will docker
generate an error if the -f
flag is missing and the specified tag is already in use.
HostConfig at API container start
Deprecated In Release: v1.10
Target For Removal In Release: v1.12
Passing an HostConfig
to POST /containers/{name}/start
is deprecated in favor of defining it at container creation (POST /containers/create
).
Docker ps ‘before’ and ‘since’ options
Deprecated In Release: v1.10.0
Target For Removal In Release: v1.12
The docker ps --before
and docker ps --since
options are deprecated. Use docker ps --filter=before=...
and docker ps --filter=since=...
instead.
Command line short variant options
Deprecated In Release: v1.9
Target For Removal In Release: v1.11
The following short variant options are deprecated in favor of their long variants:
docker run -c (--cpu-shares) docker build -c (--cpu-shares) docker create -c (--cpu-shares)
Driver Specific Log Tags
Deprecated In Release: v1.9
Target For Removal In Release: v1.11
Log tags are now generated in a standard way across different logging drivers. Because of which, the driver specific log tag options syslog-tag
, gelf-tag
and fluentd-tag
have been deprecated in favor of the generic tag
option.
docker --log-driver=syslog --log-opt tag="{{.ImageName}}/{{.Name}}/{{.ID}}"
LXC built-in exec driver
Deprecated In Release: v1.8
Removed In Release: v1.10
The built-in LXC execution driver, the lxc-conf flag, and API fields have been removed.
Old Command Line Options
Deprecated In Release: v1.8.0
Removed In Release: v1.10.0
The flags -d
and --daemon
are deprecated in favor of the daemon
subcommand:
docker daemon -H ...
The following single-dash (-opt
) variant of certain command line options are deprecated and replaced with double-dash options (--opt
):
docker attach -nostdin docker attach -sig-proxy docker build -no-cache docker build -rm docker commit -author docker commit -run docker events -since docker history -notrunc docker images -notrunc docker inspect -format docker ps -beforeId docker ps -notrunc docker ps -sinceId docker rm -link docker run -cidfile docker run -dns docker run -entrypoint docker run -expose docker run -link docker run -lxc-conf docker run -n docker run -privileged docker run -volumes-from docker search -notrunc docker search -stars docker search -t docker search -trusted docker tag -force
The following double-dash options are deprecated and have no replacement:
docker run --cpuset docker run --networking docker ps --since-id docker ps --before-id docker search --trusted
Interacting with V1 registries
Version 1.9 adds a flag (--disable-legacy-registry=false
) which prevents the docker daemon from pull
, push
, and login
operations against v1 registries. Though disabled by default, this signals the intent to deprecate the v1 protocol.
Docker Content Trust ENV passphrase variables name change
Deprecated In Release: v1.9
Target For Removal In Release: v1.10
As of 1.9, Docker Content Trust Offline key will be renamed to Root key and the Tagging key will be renamed to Repository key. Due to this renaming, we’re also changing the corresponding environment variables
- DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST_OFFLINE_PASSPHRASE will now be named DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST_ROOT_PASSPHRASE
- DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST_TAGGING_PASSPHRASE will now be named DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST_REPOSITORY_PASSPHRASE
