### Bind Docker to another host/port or a Unix socket

With `-H` it is possible to make the Docker daemon to listen on a
specific IP and port. By default, it will listen on
`unix:///var/run/docker.sock` to allow only local connections by the
*root* user. You *could* set it to `0.0.0.0:2375` or a specific host IP
to give access to everybody, but that is **not recommended** because
then it is trivial for someone to gain root access to the host where the
daemon is running.
Similarly, the Docker client can use `-H` to connect to a custom port.
The Docker client will default to connecting to `unix:///var/run/docker.sock`
on Linux, and `tcp://127.0.0.1:2376` on Windows.
`-H` accepts host and port assignment in the following format:
tcp://[host]:[port][path] or unix://path
For example:
- `tcp://` -> TCP connection to `127.0.0.1` on either port `2376` when TLS encryption
is on, or port `2375` when communication is in plain text.
- `tcp://host:2375` -> TCP connection on
host:2375
- `tcp://host:2375/path` -> TCP connection on
host:2375 and prepend path to all requests
- `unix://path/to/socket` -> Unix socket located
at `path/to/socket`
`-H`, when empty, will default to the same value as
when no `-H` was passed in.
`-H` also accepts short form for TCP bindings:
`host:` or `host:port` or `:port`
Run Docker in daemon mode:
$ sudo <path to>/dockerd -H 0.0.0.0:5555 &
Download an `ubuntu` image:
$ docker -H :5555 pull ubuntu
You can use multiple `-H`, for example, if you want to listen on both
TCP and a Unix socket
# Run docker in daemon mode
$ sudo <path to>/dockerd -H tcp://127.0.0.1:2375 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock &
# Download an ubuntu image, use default Unix socket
$ docker pull ubuntu
# OR use the TCP port
$ docker -H tcp://127.0.0.1:2375 pull ubuntu
