Remove support for encrypted TLS private keys
> Legacy PEM encryption as specified in RFC 1423 is insecure by design. Since

This feature allowed using an encrypted private key with a supplied password,
but did not provide additional security as the encryption is known to be broken,
and the key is sitting next to the password in the filesystem. Users are recommended
to decrypt the private key, and store it un-encrypted to continue using it.

README.md

The non-reference docs have been moved!

The documentation for Docker Engine has been merged into the general documentation repo.

See the README for instructions on contributing to and building the documentation.

If you'd like to edit the current published version of the Engine docs, do it in the master branch here: https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/master/engine

If you need to document the functionality of an upcoming Engine release, use the vnext-engine branch: https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/vnext-engine/engine

The reference docs have been left in docker/docker (this repo), which remains the place to edit them.

The docs in the general repo are open-source and we appreciate your feedback and pull requests!
