This proposal introduces a new command, docker config
, which can be used to get and set configuration values from the Docker command line client. Eventually these may be used to modify the program's default behavior. This proposal is a summary of myself and @duglin's discussion about solving this.
For a variety of reasons the Docker community seems to desire a way to store, set, and access options which dictate the manner in which Docker should behave. For instance, if the user wants to control the host which the Docker client executes commands against, they can set DOCKER_HOST
or -H
, but they have no way to persist this value out of the box or allow other programs to change them seamlessly. Docker configuration would allow users to do so,
