## Custom Docker daemon options
There are a number of ways to configure the daemon flags and environment variables
for your Docker daemon.
for your Docker daemon.
If the `docker.service` file is set to use an `EnvironmentFile`
(often pointing to `/etc/sysconfig/docker`) then you can modify the
referenced file.
Or, you may need to edit the `docker.service` file, which can be in
`/usr/lib/systemd/system`, `/etc/systemd/service`, or `/lib/systemd/system`.
Check if the `docker.service` uses an `EnvironmentFile`:
$ sudo systemctl show docker | grep EnvironmentFile
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/docker (ignore_errors=yes)
Alternatively, find out where the service file is located, and look for the
property:
$ sudo systemctl status docker | grep Loaded
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled)
$ sudo grep EnvironmentFile /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/docker
You can customize the Docker daemon options using override files as explained in the
[HTTP Proxy example](#http-proxy) below. The files located in `/usr/lib/systemd/system`
or `/lib/systemd/system` contain the default options and should not be edited.
