How to configure my Docker daemon

Question

I have created a file at /etc/docker/daemon.json on my Linux machine. Here is what my docker daemon configuration file looks like.

{
  "debug": true,
  "tls": true,
  "tlscert": "/var/docker/server.pem",
  "tlskey": "/var/docker/serverkey.pem",
  "hosts": ["tcp://192.168.59.3:2376"]
}

 I was wondering that how can I manually start the Docker daemon, using the same configurations as above:

Can anyone resolve my query?

Thanks.

Here is what you can try.

By using the configurations that you have given, the manual fixing of configuration will be:

dockerd --debug \
  --tls=true \
  --tlscert=/var/docker/server.pem \
  --tlskey=/var/docker/serverkey.pem \
  --host tcp://192.168.59.3:2376

 You can know about the configuration options that are available, by clicking on dockerd reference docs,

I hope that the above information will resolve your query.
