**Deprecated In Release: [v1.13.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.13.0)**
**Removed In Release: v17.12**
The daemon is moved to a separate binary (`dockerd`), and should be used instead.
### Duplicate keys with conflicting values in engine labels
**Deprecated In Release: [v1.13.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.13.0)**
**Removed In Release: v17.12**
When setting duplicate keys with conflicting values, an error will be produced, and the daemon
will fail to start.
### `MAINTAINER` in Dockerfile
**Deprecated In Release: [v1.13.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.13.0)**
`MAINTAINER` was an early very limited form of `LABEL` which should be used instead.
### API calls without a version
**Deprecated In Release: [v1.13.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.13.0)**
**Target For Removal In Release: v17.12**
API versions should be supplied to all API calls to ensure compatibility with
future Engine versions. Instead of just requesting, for example, the URL
`/containers/json`, you must now request `/v1.25/containers/json`.
### Backing filesystem without `d_type` support for overlay/overlay2
**Deprecated In Release: [v1.13.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.13.0)**
**Removed In Release: v17.12**
The overlay and overlay2 storage driver does not work as expected if the backing
filesystem does not support `d_type`. For example, XFS does not support `d_type`
if it is formatted with the `ftype=0` option.
Starting with Docker 17.12, new installations will not support running overlay2 on
a backing filesystem without `d_type` support. For existing installations that upgrade
to 17.12, a warning will be printed.
Please also refer to [#27358](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/27358) for
further information.
### Three arguments form in `docker import`
**Deprecated In Release: [v0.6.7](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v0.6.7)**
**Removed In Release: [v1.12.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.12.0)**
The `docker import` command format `file|URL|- [REPOSITORY [TAG]]` is deprecated since November 2013. It's no more supported.
### `-h` shorthand for `--help`
**Deprecated In Release: [v1.12.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.12.0)**
**Target For Removal In Release: v17.09**
The shorthand (`-h`) is less common than `--help` on Linux and cannot be used
on all subcommands (due to it conflicting with, e.g. `-h` / `--hostname` on
`docker create`). For this reason, the `-h` shorthand was not printed in the
"usage" output of subcommands, nor documented, and is now marked "deprecated".
### `-e` and `--email` flags on `docker login`
**Deprecated In Release: [v1.11.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.11.0)**
**Removed In Release: [v17.06](https://github.com/docker/docker-ce/releases/tag/v17.06.0-ce)**
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: [v1.11.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.11.0)**
**Target For Removal In Release: v17.06**
The flag `--security-opt` doesn't use the colon separator(`:`) anymore to divide keys and values, it uses the equal symbol(`=`) for consistency with other similar flags, like `--storage-opt`.
### `/containers/(id or name)/copy` endpoint
**Deprecated In Release: [v1.8.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.8.0)**
**Removed In Release: [v1.12.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.12.0)**
The endpoint `/containers/(id or name)/copy` is deprecated in favor of `/containers/(id or name)/archive`.
### Ambiguous event fields in API
**Deprecated In Release: [v1.10.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.10.0)**
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: [v1.10.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.10.0)**
**Removed In Release: [v1.12.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.12.0)**
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: [v1.10.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.10.0)**
**Removed In Release: [v1.12.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.12.0)**
Passing an `HostConfig` to `POST /containers/{name}/start` is deprecated in favor of
defining it at container creation (`POST /containers/create`).
### `--before` and `--since` flags on `docker ps`
**Deprecated In Release: [v1.10.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.10.0)**
**Removed In Release: [v1.12.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.12.0)**
The `docker ps --before` and `docker ps --since` options are deprecated.
Use `docker ps --filter=before=...` and `docker ps --filter=since=...` instead.
### `--automated` and `--stars` flags on `docker search`
**Deprecated in Release: [v1.12.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.12.0)**
**Target For Removal In Release: v17.09**
The `docker search --automated` and `docker search --stars` options are deprecated.
Use `docker search --filter=is-automated=...` and `docker search --filter=stars=...` instead.
### Driver Specific Log Tags
**Deprecated In Release: [v1.9.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.9.0)**
**Removed In Release: [v1.12.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.12.0)**
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.
The `--disable-legacy-registry` flag was disabled in Docker 17.12 and will print
an error when used. For this error to be printed, the flag itself is still present,
but hidden. The flag will be removed in Docker 18.03.
### Docker Content Trust ENV passphrase variables name change
**Deprecated In Release: [v1.9.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.9.0)**
**Removed In Release: [v1.12.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.12.0)**
Since 1.9, Docker Content Trust Offline key has been renamed to Root key and the Tagging key has been renamed to Repository key. Due to this renaming, we're also changing the corresponding environment variables
- DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST_OFFLINE_PASSPHRASE is now named DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST_ROOT_PASSPHRASE
- DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST_TAGGING_PASSPHRASE is now named DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST_REPOSITORY_PASSPHRASE
### `--api-enable-cors` flag on dockerd
**Deprecated In Release: [v1.6.0](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.6.0)**
**Removed In Release: [v17.09](https://github.com/docker/docker-ce/releases/tag/v17.09.0-ce)**
The flag `--api-enable-cors` is deprecated since v1.6.0. Use the flag
