### Configuring Docker
You configure the `docker` daemon in the `/etc/sysconfig/docker` file on your
host. You do this by specifying values in a variable. For CentOS 7.x and RHEL 7.x, the name
of the variable is `OPTIONS` and for CentOS 6.x and RHEL 6.x, the name of the variable is
`other_args`. For this section, we will use CentOS 7.x as an example to configure the `docker`
daemon.
For CentOS 7.x and RHEL 7.x you can [control and configure Docker with systemd](systemd.md).
By default, systemd services are located either in `/etc/systemd/service`, `/lib/systemd/system`
or `/usr/lib/systemd/system`. The `docker.service` file can be found in either of these three
directories depending on your host.
Previously, for CentOS 6.x and RHEL 6.x you would configure the `docker` daemon in
the `/etc/sysconfig/docker` file on your system. You would do this by specifying
values in a `other_args` variable. For a short time in CentOS 7.x and RHEL 7.x you
would specify values in a `OPTIONS` variable. This is no longer recommended in favor
of using systemd directly.
For this section, we will use CentOS 7.x as an example to configure the `docker` daemon.
To configure Docker options:
1. Log into your host as a user with `sudo` or `root` privileges.
2. If you don't have one, create the `/etc/sysconfig/docker` file on your host. Depending on how
you installed Docker, you may already have this file.
3. Open the file with your favorite editor.
2. Create the `/etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d` directory.
```
$ sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/docker
$ sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d
```
4. Add a `OPTIONS` variable with the following options. These options are appended to the
command that starts the `docker` daemon.
3. Create a `/etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/docker.conf` file.
4. Open the file with your favorite editor.
```
$ sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/docker.conf
```
5. Override the `ExecStart` configuration from your `docker.service` file to customize
the `docker` daemon. To modify the `ExecStart` configuration you have to specify
an empty configuration followed by a new one as follows:
```
OPTIONS="-D --tls=true --tlscert=/var/docker/server.pem --tlskey=/var/docker/serverkey.pem -H tcp://192.168.59.3:2376"
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker daemon -H fd:// -D --tls=true --tlscert=/var/docker/server.pem --tlskey=/var/docker/serverkey.pem -H tcp://192.168.59.3:2376
