## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### <a name="host"></a> Specify daemon host (-H, --host)
|
||||
|
||||
You can use the `-H`, `--host` flag to specify a socket to use when you invoke
|
||||
a `docker` command. You can use the following protocols:
|
||||
|
||||
| Scheme | Description | Example |
|
||||
|----------------------------------------|---------------------------|----------------------------------|
|
||||
| `unix://[<path>]` | Unix socket (Linux only) | `unix:///var/run/docker.sock` |
|
||||
| `tcp://[<IP or host>[:port]]` | TCP connection | `tcp://174.17.0.1:2376` |
|
||||
| `ssh://[username@]<IP or host>[:port]` | SSH connection | `ssh://user@192.168.64.5` |
|
||||
| `npipe://[<name>]` | Named pipe (Windows only) | `npipe:////./pipe/docker_engine` |
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't specify the `-H` flag, and you're not using a custom
|
||||
[context](https://docs.docker.com/engine/context/working-with-contexts),
|
||||
commands use the following default sockets:
|
||||
|
||||
- `unix:///var/run/docker.sock` on macOS and Linux
|
||||
- `npipe:////./pipe/docker_engine` on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
To achieve a similar effect without having to specify the `-H` flag for every
|
||||
command, you could also [create a context](context_create.md),
|
||||
or alternatively, use the
|
||||
[`DOCKER_HOST` environment variable](#environment-variables).
|
||||
|
||||
For more information about the `-H` flag, see
|
||||
[Daemon socket option](dockerd.md#daemon-socket-option).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using TCP sockets
|
||||
|
||||
The following example shows how to invoke `docker ps` over TCP, to a remote
|
||||
daemon with IP address `174.17.0.1`, listening on port `2376`:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ docker -H tcp://174.17.0.1:2376 ps
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**
|
||||
>
|
||||
> By convention, the Docker daemon uses port `2376` for secure TLS connections,
|
||||
> and port `2375` for insecure, non-TLS connections.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using SSH sockets
|
||||
|
||||
When you use SSH invoke a command on a remote daemon, the request gets forwarded
|
||||
to the `/var/run/docker.sock` Unix socket on the SSH host.
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ docker -H ssh://user@192.168.64.5 ps
|
||||
```
