+
+## Labels - custom metadata in Docker
+
+You can add metadata to your images, containers, and daemons via
+labels. Metadata can serve a wide range of uses. Use them to add notes or
+licensing information to an image or to identify a host.
+
+A label is a `` / `` pair. Docker stores the values as *strings*.
+You can specify multiple labels but each `` / `` must be unique. If
+you specify the same `key` multiple times with different values, each subsequent
+value overwrites the previous. Docker applies the last `key=value` you supply.
+
+>**note:** Support for daemon-labels was added in Docker 1.4.1. Labels on
+>containers and images are new in Docker 1.6.0
+
+### Naming your labels - namespaces
+
+Docker puts no hard restrictions on the label `key` you. However, labels can
+conflict. For example, you can categorize your images by using a chip "architecture"
+label:
+
+ LABEL architecture="amd64"
+
+ LABEL architecture="ARMv7"
+
+But a user can label images by building architectural style:
+
+ LABEL architecture="Art Nouveau"
+
+To prevent such conflicts, Docker namespaces label keys using a reverse domain
+notation. This notation has the following guidelines:
+
+
+- All (third-party) tools should prefix their keys with the
+ reverse DNS notation of a domain controlled by the author. For
+ example, `com.example.some-label`.
+
+- The `com.docker.*`, `io.docker.*` and `com.dockerproject.*` namespaces are
+ reserved for Docker's internal use.
+
+- Keys should only consist of lower-cased alphanumeric characters,
+ dots and dashes (for example, `[a-z0-9-.]`)
+
+- Keys should start *and* end with an alpha numeric character
+
+- Keys may not contain consecutive dots or dashes.
+
+- Keys *without* namespace (dots) are reserved for CLI use. This allows end-
+ users to add metadata to their containers and images, without having to type
+ cumbersome namespaces on the command-line.
+
+
+These are guidelines and are not enforced. Docker does not *enforce* them.
+Failing following these guidelines can result in conflicting labels. If you're
+building a tool that uses labels, you *should* use namespaces for your label keys.
+
+
+### Storing structured data in labels
+
+Label values can contain any data type as long as the value can be stored as a
+string. For example, consider this JSON:
+
+
+ {
+ "Description": "A containerized foobar",
+ "Usage": "docker run --rm example/foobar [args]",
+ "License": "GPL",
+ "Version": "0.0.1-beta",
+ "aBoolean": true,
+ "aNumber" : 0.01234,
+ "aNestedArray": ["a", "b", "c"]
+ }
+
+You can store this struct in a label by serializing it to a string first:
+
+ LABEL com.example.image-specs="{\"Description\":\"A containerized foobar\",\"Usage\":\"docker run --rm example\\/foobar [args]\",\"License\":\"GPL\",\"Version\":\"0.0.1-beta\",\"aBoolean\":true,\"aNumber\":0.01234,\"aNestedArray\":[\"a\",\"b\",\"c\"]}"
+
+While it is *possible* to store structured data in label values, Docker treats this
+data as a 'regular' string. This means that Docker doesn't offer ways to query
+(filter) based on nested properties.
+
+If your tool needs to filter on nested properties, the tool itself should
+implement this.
+
+
+### Adding labels to images; the `LABEL` instruction
+
+Adding labels to an image:
+
+
+ LABEL [.][=] ...
+
+The `LABEL` instruction adds a label to your image, optionally setting its value.
+Use surrounding quotes or backslashes for labels that contain
+white space character:
+
+ LABEL vendor=ACME\ Incorporated
+ LABEL com.example.version.is-beta
+ LABEL com.example.version="0.0.1-beta"
+ LABEL com.example.release-date="2015-02-12"
+
+The `LABEL` instruction supports setting multiple labels in a single instruction
+using this notation;
+
+ LABEL com.example.version="0.0.1-beta" com.example.release-date="2015-02-12"
+
+Wrapping is allowed by using a backslash (`\`) as continuation marker:
+
+ LABEL vendor=ACME\ Incorporated \
+ com.example.is-beta \
+ com.example.version="0.0.1-beta" \
+ com.example.release-date="2015-02-12"
+
+Docker recommends combining labels in a single `LABEL` instruction instead of
+using a `LABEL` instruction for each label. Each instruction in a Dockerfile
+produces a new layer that can result in an inefficient image if you use many
+labels.
+
+You can view the labels via the `docker inspect` command:
+
+ $ docker inspect 4fa6e0f0c678
+
+ ...
+ "Labels": {
+ "vendor": "ACME Incorporated",
+ "com.example.is-beta": "",
+ "com.example.version": "0.0.1-beta",
+ "com.example.release-date": "2015-02-12"
+ }
+ ...
+
+ $ docker inspect -f "{{json .Labels }}" 4fa6e0f0c678
+
+ {"Vendor":"ACME Incorporated","com.example.is-beta":"","com.example.version":"0.0.1-beta","com.example.release-date":"2015-02-12"}
+
+
+
+### Querying labels
+
+Besides storing metadata, you can filter images and labels by label. To list all
+running containers that have a `com.example.is-beta` label:
+
+ # List all running containers that have a `com.example.is-beta` label
+ $ docker ps --filter "label=com.example.is-beta"
+
+List all running containers with a `color` label of `blue`:
+
+ $ docker ps --filter "label=color=blue"
+
+List all images with `vendor` `ACME`:
+
+ $ docker images --filter "label=vendor=ACME"
+
+
+### Daemon labels
+
+
+ docker -d \
+ --dns 8.8.8.8 \
+ --dns 8.8.4.4 \
+ -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock \
+ --label com.example.environment="production" \
+ --label com.example.storage="ssd"
+
+These labels appear as part of the `docker info` output for the daemon:
