Enable TCP port 2375 for external connection to Docker

Enable TCP port 2375 for external connection to Docker

See this issue.
Docker best practise to Control and configure Docker with systemd.

  1. Create daemon.json file in /etc/docker:

     {"hosts": ["tcp://0.0.0.0:2375", "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"]}
    
  2. Add /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/override.conf

     [Service]
     ExecStart=
     ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd
    
  3. Reload the systemd daemon:

     systemctl daemon-reload
    
  4. Restart docker:

     systemctl restart docker.service

Here's another way that worked for me:

/etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/override.conf

[Service]
 ExecStart=
 ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd --config-file /etc/docker/daemon.json

/etc/docker/daemon.json

{
  "hosts": ["tcp://0.0.0.0:2375", "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"]
}

is worked thank you so much

Exposing the docker daemon on 0.0.0.0 especially on something which faces the internet is a TERRIBLE idea!

It's literally like giving everyone sudo access...

Bind to 127.0.0.1 and portforward.

You don't even have to, the docker client can speak ssh) via: DOCKER_HOST=“ssh://user@remotehost
