# 基本架构

Docker 采用了 `C/S` 架构，包括客户端和服务端。Docker 守护进程 （`Daemon`）作为服务端接受来自客户端的请求，并处理这些请求（创建、运行、分发容器）。

客户端和服务端既可以运行在一个机器上，也可通过 `socket` 或者 `RESTful API` 来进行通信。

Docker 守护进程一般在宿主主机后台运行，等待接收来自客户端的消息。

Docker 客户端则为用户提供一系列可执行命令，用户用这些命令实现跟 Docker 守护进程交互。

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hezhiqiang.gitbook.io/docker/underly/arch.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
