# DESCRIPTION
**dockerd** is used for starting the Docker daemon (i.e., to command the daemon
to manage images, containers etc). So **dockerd** is a server, as a daemon.
To run the Docker daemon you can specify **dockerd**.
You can check the daemon options using **dockerd --help**.
Daemon options should be specified after the **dockerd** keyword in the
following format.
**dockerd [OPTIONS]**
# OPTIONS
**--add-runtime**=[]
Runtimes can be registered with the daemon either via the
configuration file or using the `--add-runtime` command line argument.
The following is an example adding 2 runtimes via the configuration:
```json
{
"default-runtime": "runc",
"runtimes": {
"runc": {
"path": "runc"
},
"custom": {
"path": "/usr/local/bin/my-runc-replacement",
"runtimeArgs": [
"--debug"
]
}
}
}
```
This is the same example via the command line:
```bash
$ sudo dockerd --add-runtime runc=runc --add-runtime custom=/usr/local/bin/my-runc-replacement
```
**Note**: defining runtime arguments via the command line is not supported.
**--allow-nondistributable-artifacts**=[]
Push nondistributable artifacts to the specified registries.
List can contain elements with CIDR notation to specify a whole subnet.
This option is useful when pushing images containing nondistributable
artifacts to a registry on an air-gapped network so hosts on that network can
pull the images without connecting to another server.
**Warning**: Nondistributable artifacts typically have restrictions on how
and where they can be distributed and shared. Only use this feature to push
artifacts to private registries and ensure that you are in compliance with
any terms that cover redistributing nondistributable artifacts.
**--api-cors-header**=""
Set CORS headers in the Engine API. Default is cors disabled. Give urls like
"http://foo, http://bar, ...". Give "*" to allow all.
**--authorization-plugin**=""
Set authorization plugins to load
**-b**, **--bridge**=""
Attach containers to a pre\-existing network bridge; use 'none' to disable
container networking
**--bip**=""
Use the provided CIDR notation address for the dynamically created bridge
(docker0); Mutually exclusive of \-b
**--cgroup-parent**=""
Set parent cgroup for all containers. Default is "/docker" for fs cgroup
driver and "system.slice" for systemd cgroup driver.
**--config-file**=*"/etc/docker/daemon.json"*
Specifies the JSON file path to load the configuration from.
**--containerd**=""
Path to containerd socket.
**--data-root**=""
Path to the directory used to store persisted Docker data such as
configuration for resources, swarm cluster state, and filesystem data for
images, containers, and local volumes. Default is `/var/lib/docker`.
**-D**, **--debug**=*true*|*false*
Enable debug mode. Default is false.
**--default-cgroupns-mode**="*host*|*private*"
Set the default cgroup namespace mode for newly created containers. The argument
can either be **host** or **private**. If unset, this defaults to `host` on cgroup v1,
`private` on cgroup v2.
**--default-gateway**=""
IPv4 address of the container default gateway; this address must be part of
the bridge subnet (which is defined by \-b or \--bip)
**--default-gateway-v6**=""
IPv6 address of the container default gateway
**--default-address-pool**=""
Default address pool from which IPAM driver selects a subnet for the networks.
Example: base=172.30.0.0/16,size=24 will set the default
address pools for the selected scope networks to {172.30.[0-255].0/24}
**--default-runtime**=*"runc"*
Set default runtime if there're more than one specified by `--add-runtime`.
**--default-ipc-mode**="*private*|*shareable*"
Set the default IPC mode for newly created containers. The argument
can either be **private** or **shareable**.
**--default-shm-size**=*64MiB*
Set the daemon-wide default shm size for containers. Default is `64MiB`.
**--default-ulimit**=[]
Default ulimits for containers.
**--dns**=""
Force Docker to use specific DNS servers
**--dns-opt**=""
DNS options to use.
**--dns-search**=[]
DNS search domains to use.
**--exec-opt**=[]
Set runtime execution options. See RUNTIME EXECUTION OPTIONS.
**--exec-root**=""
Path to use as the root of the Docker execution state files. Default is
`/var/run/docker`.
**--experimental**=""
Enable the daemon experimental features.
**--fixed-cidr**=""
IPv4 subnet for fixed IPs (e.g., 10.20.0.0/16); this subnet must be nested in
the bridge subnet (which is defined by \-b or \-\-bip).
**--fixed-cidr-v6**=""
IPv6 subnet for global IPv6 addresses (e.g., 2a00:1450::/64)
**-G**, **--group**=""
Group to assign the unix socket specified by -H when running in daemon mode.
use '' (the empty string) to disable setting of a group. Default is `docker`.
**-H**, **--host**=[*unix:///var/run/docker.sock*]: tcp://[host:port] to bind or
unix://[/path/to/socket] to use.
The socket(s) to bind to in daemon mode specified using one or more
tcp://host:port, unix:///path/to/socket, fd://* or fd://socketfd.
**--help**
Print usage statement
**--http-proxy***""*
Proxy URL for HTTP requests unless overridden by NoProxy.
**--https-proxy***""*
Proxy URL for HTTPS requests unless overridden by NoProxy.
**--icc**=*true*|*false*
Allow unrestricted inter\-container and Docker daemon host communication. If
disabled, containers can still be linked together using the **--link** option
(see **docker-run(1)**). Default is true.
**--init**
Run an init process inside containers for signal forwarding and process
reaping.
**--init-path**
Path to the docker-init binary.
**--insecure-registry**=[]
Enable insecure registry communication, i.e., enable un-encrypted and/or
untrusted communication.
List of insecure registries can contain an element with CIDR notation to
specify a whole subnet. Insecure registries accept HTTP and/or accept HTTPS
with certificates from unknown CAs.
Enabling `--insecure-registry` is useful when running a local registry.
However, because its use creates security vulnerabilities it should ONLY be
enabled for testing purposes. For increased security, users should add their
CA to their system's list of trusted CAs instead of using
`--insecure-registry`.
**--ip**=""
Default IP address to use when binding container ports. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
**--ip-forward**=*true*|*false*
Enables IP forwarding on the Docker host. The default is `true`. This flag
interacts with the IP forwarding setting on your host system's kernel. If
your system has IP forwarding disabled, this setting enables it. If your
system has IP forwarding enabled, setting this flag to `--ip-forward=false`
has no effect.
This setting will also enable IPv6 forwarding if you have both
`--ip-forward=true` and `--fixed-cidr-v6` set. Note that this may reject
Router Advertisements and interfere with the host's existing IPv6
configuration. For more information, please consult the documentation about
"Advanced Networking - IPv6".
**--ip-masq**=*true*|*false*
Enable IP masquerading for bridge's IP range. Default is true.
**--iptables**=*true*|*false*
Enable Docker's addition of iptables rules. Default is true.
**--ipv6**=*true*|*false*
Enable IPv6 support. Default is false. Docker will create an IPv6-enabled
bridge with address fe80::1 which will allow you to create IPv6-enabled
containers. Use together with `--fixed-cidr-v6` to provide globally routable
IPv6 addresses. IPv6 forwarding will be enabled if not used with
`--ip-forward=false`. This may collide with your host's current IPv6
settings. For more information please consult the documentation about
"Advanced Networking - IPv6".
**--isolation**="*default*"
Isolation specifies the type of isolation technology used by containers.
Note that the default on Windows server is `process`, and the default on
Windows client is `hyperv`. Linux only supports `default`.
**-l**, **--log-level**="*debug*|*info*|*warn*|*error*|*fatal*"
Set the logging level. Default is `info`.
**--label**="[]"
Set key=value labels to the daemon (displayed in `docker info`)
**--live-restore**=*false*
Enable live restore of running containers when the daemon starts so that they
are not restarted. This option is applicable only for docker daemon running
on Linux host.
**--log-driver**="*json-file*|*syslog*|*journald*|*gelf*|*fluentd*|*awslogs*|*splunk*|*etwlogs*|*gcplogs*|*none*"
Default driver for container logs. Default is `json-file`.
**Warning**: `docker logs` command works only for `json-file` logging driver.
**--log-opt**=[]
Logging driver specific options.
**--mtu**=*0*
Set the containers network mtu. Default is `0`.
**--max-concurrent-downloads**=*3*
Set the max concurrent downloads. Default is `3`.
**--max-concurrent-uploads**=*5*
Set the max concurrent uploads. Default is `5`.
**--max-download-attempts**=*5*
Set the max download attempts for each pull. Default is `5`.
**--no-proxy**=*""*"
Comma-separated values specifying hosts that should be excluded from proxying.
**--node-generic-resources**=*[]*
Advertise user-defined resource. Default is `[]`.
Use this if your swarm cluster has some nodes with custom
resources (e.g: NVIDIA GPU, SSD, ...) and you need your services to land on
nodes advertising these resources.
Usage example: `--node-generic-resources "NVIDIA-GPU=UUID1"
--node-generic-resources "NVIDIA-GPU=UUID2"`
**-p**, **--pidfile**=""
Path to use for daemon PID file. Default is `/var/run/docker.pid`
**--raw-logs**
Output daemon logs in full timestamp format without ANSI coloring. If this
flag is not set, the daemon outputs condensed, colorized logs if a terminal
is detected, or full ("raw") output otherwise.
**--registry-mirror**=*<scheme>://<host>*
Prepend a registry mirror to be used for image pulls. May be specified
multiple times.
**-s**, **--storage-driver**=""
Force the Docker runtime to use a specific storage driver.
**--seccomp-profile**=""
Path to seccomp profile.
**--selinux-enabled**=*true*|*false*
Enable selinux support. Default is false.
**--shutdown-timeout**=*15*
Set the shutdown timeout value in seconds. Default is `15`.
**--storage-opt**=[]
Set storage driver options. See STORAGE DRIVER OPTIONS.
**--swarm-default-advertise-addr**=*IP|INTERFACE*
Set default address or interface for swarm to advertise as its
externally-reachable address to other cluster members. This can be a
hostname, an IP address, or an interface such as `eth0`. A port cannot be
specified with this option.
**--tls**=*true*|*false*
Use TLS; implied by --tlsverify. Default is false.
**--tlscacert**=*~/.docker/ca.pem*
Trust certs signed only by this CA.
**--tlscert**=*~/.docker/cert.pem*
Path to TLS certificate file.
**--tlskey**=*~/.docker/key.pem*
Path to TLS key file.
**--tlsverify**=*true*|*false*
Use TLS and verify the remote (daemon: verify client, client: verify daemon).
Default is false.
**--userland-proxy**=*true*|*false*
Rely on a userland proxy implementation for inter-container and
outside-to-container loopback communications. Default is true.
**--userland-proxy-path**=""
Path to the userland proxy binary.
**--userns-remap**=*default*|*uid:gid*|*user:group*|*user*|*uid*
Enable user namespaces for containers on the daemon. Specifying "default"
will cause a new user and group to be created to handle UID and GID range
remapping for the user namespace mappings used for contained processes.
Specifying a user (or uid) and optionally a group (or gid) will cause the
daemon to lookup the user and group's subordinate ID ranges for use as the
user namespace mappings for contained processes.
**--validate**
Validate daemon configuration and exit.
# STORAGE DRIVER OPTIONS
Docker uses storage backends (known as "graphdrivers" in the Docker
internals) to create writable containers from images. Many of these
backends use operating system level technologies and can be
configured.
Specify options to the storage backend with **--storage-opt** flags. The
backends that currently take options are *devicemapper*, *zfs* and *btrfs*.
Options for *devicemapper* are prefixed with *dm*, options for *zfs*
start with *zfs* and options for *btrfs* start with *btrfs*.
Specifically for devicemapper, the default is a "loopback" model which
requires no pre-configuration, but is extremely inefficient. Do not
use it in production.
To make the best use of Docker with the devicemapper backend, you must
have a recent version of LVM. Use `lvm` to create a thin pool; for
more information see `man lvmthin`. Then, use `--storage-opt
dm.thinpooldev` to tell the Docker engine to use that pool for
allocating images and container snapshots.
## Devicemapper options
#### dm.thinpooldev
Specifies a custom block storage device to use for the thin pool.
If using a block device for device mapper storage, it is best to use `lvm`
to create and manage the thin-pool volume. This volume is then handed to Docker
to exclusively create snapshot volumes needed for images and containers.
Managing the thin-pool outside of Engine makes for the most feature-rich
method of having Docker utilize device mapper thin provisioning as the
backing storage for Docker containers. The highlights of the lvm-based
thin-pool management feature include: automatic or interactive thin-pool
resize support, dynamically changing thin-pool features, automatic thinp
metadata checking when lvm activates the thin-pool, etc.
As a fallback if no thin pool is provided, loopback files are
created. Loopback is very slow, but can be used without any
pre-configuration of storage. It is strongly recommended that you do
not use loopback in production. Ensure your Engine daemon has a
`--storage-opt dm.thinpooldev` argument provided.
Example use:
$ dockerd \
--storage-opt dm.thinpooldev=/dev/mapper/thin-pool
#### dm.directlvm_device
As an alternative to manually creating a thin pool as above, Docker can
automatically configure a block device for you.
Example use:
$ dockerd \
--storage-opt dm.directlvm_device=/dev/xvdf
##### dm.thinp_percent
Sets the percentage of passed in block device to use for storage.
###### Example:
$ sudo dockerd \
--storage-opt dm.thinp_percent=95
##### `dm.thinp_metapercent`
Sets the percentage of the passed in block device to use for metadata storage.
###### Example:
$ sudo dockerd \
--storage-opt dm.thinp_metapercent=1
##### dm.thinp_autoextend_threshold
Sets the value of the percentage of space used before `lvm` attempts to
autoextend the available space [100 = disabled]
###### Example:
$ sudo dockerd \
--storage-opt dm.thinp_autoextend_threshold=80
##### dm.thinp_autoextend_percent
Sets the value percentage value to increase the thin pool by when `lvm`
attempts to autoextend the available space [100 = disabled]
###### Example:
$ sudo dockerd \
--storage-opt dm.thinp_autoextend_percent=20
#### dm.basesize
Specifies the size to use when creating the base device, which limits
the size of images and containers. The default value is 10G. Note,
thin devices are inherently "sparse", so a 10G device which is mostly
empty doesn't use 10 GB of space on the pool. However, the filesystem
will use more space for base images the larger the device
is.
The base device size can be increased at daemon restart which will allow
all future images and containers (based on those new images) to be of the
new base device size.
Example use: `dockerd --storage-opt dm.basesize=50G`
This will increase the base device size to 50G. The Docker daemon will throw an
error if existing base device size is larger than 50G. A user can use
this option to expand the base device size however shrinking is not permitted.
This value affects the system-wide "base" empty filesystem that may already
be initialized and inherited by pulled images. Typically, a change to this
value requires additional steps to take effect:
$ sudo service docker stop
$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker
$ sudo service docker start
Example use: `dockerd --storage-opt dm.basesize=20G`
#### dm.fs
Specifies the filesystem type to use for the base device. The
supported options are `ext4` and `xfs`. The default is `ext4`.
Example use: `dockerd --storage-opt dm.fs=xfs`
#### dm.mkfsarg
Specifies extra mkfs arguments to be used when creating the base device.
Example use: `dockerd --storage-opt "dm.mkfsarg=-O ^has_journal"`
#### dm.mountopt
Specifies extra mount options used when mounting the thin devices.
Example use: `dockerd --storage-opt dm.mountopt=nodiscard`
#### dm.use_deferred_removal
Enables use of deferred device removal if `libdm` and the kernel driver
support the mechanism.
Deferred device removal means that if device is busy when devices are
being removed/deactivated, then a deferred removal is scheduled on
device. And devices automatically go away when last user of the device
exits.
For example, when a container exits, its associated thin device is removed. If
that device has leaked into some other mount namespace and can't be removed,
the container exit still succeeds and this option causes the system to schedule
the device for deferred removal. It does not wait in a loop trying to remove a
busy device.
Example use: `dockerd --storage-opt dm.use_deferred_removal=true`
#### dm.use_deferred_deletion
Enables use of deferred device deletion for thin pool devices. By default,
thin pool device deletion is synchronous. Before a container is deleted, the
Docker daemon removes any associated devices. If the storage driver can not
remove a device, the container deletion fails and daemon returns.
`Error deleting container: Error response from daemon: Cannot destroy container`
To avoid this failure, enable both deferred device deletion and deferred
device removal on the daemon.
`dockerd --storage-opt dm.use_deferred_deletion=true --storage-opt dm.use_deferred_removal=true`
With these two options enabled, if a device is busy when the driver is
deleting a container, the driver marks the device as deleted. Later, when the
device isn't in use, the driver deletes it.
In general it should be safe to enable this option by default. It will help
when unintentional leaking of mount point happens across multiple mount
namespaces.
#### dm.loopdatasize
**Note**: This option configures devicemapper loopback, which should not be
used in production.
Specifies the size to use when creating the loopback file for the "data" device
which is used for the thin pool. The default size is 100G. The file is sparse,
so it will not initially take up this much space.
Example use: `dockerd --storage-opt dm.loopdatasize=200G`
#### dm.loopmetadatasize
**Note**: This option configures devicemapper loopback, which should not be
used in production.
Specifies the size to use when creating the loopback file for the "metadata"
device which is used for the thin pool. The default size is 2G. The file is
sparse, so it will not initially take up this much space.
Example use: `dockerd --storage-opt dm.loopmetadatasize=4G`
#### dm.datadev
(Deprecated, use `dm.thinpooldev`)
Specifies a custom blockdevice to use for data for a Docker-managed thin pool.
It is better to use `dm.thinpooldev` - see the documentation for it above for
discussion of the advantages.
#### dm.metadatadev
(Deprecated, use `dm.thinpooldev`)
Specifies a custom blockdevice to use for metadata for a Docker-managed thin
pool. See `dm.datadev` for why this is deprecated.
#### dm.blocksize
Specifies a custom blocksize to use for the thin pool. The default
blocksize is 64K.
Example use: `dockerd --storage-opt dm.blocksize=512K`
#### dm.blkdiscard
Enables or disables the use of `blkdiscard` when removing devicemapper devices.
This is disabled by default due to the additional latency, but as a special
case with loopback devices it will be enabled, in order to re-sparsify the
loopback file on image/container removal.
Disabling this on loopback can lead to *much* faster container removal times,
but it also prevents the space used in `/var/lib/docker` directory from being
returned to the system for other use when containers are removed.
Example use: `dockerd --storage-opt dm.blkdiscard=false`
#### dm.override_udev_sync_check
By default, the devicemapper backend attempts to synchronize with the `udev`
device manager for the Linux kernel. This option allows disabling that
synchronization, to continue even though the configuration may be buggy.
To view the `udev` sync support of a Docker daemon that is using the
`devicemapper` driver, run:
$ docker info
[...]
Udev Sync Supported: true
[...]
When `udev` sync support is `true`, then `devicemapper` and `udev` can
coordinate the activation and deactivation of devices for containers.
When `udev` sync support is `false`, a race condition occurs between the
`devicemapper` and `udev` during create and cleanup. The race condition results
in errors and failures. (For information on these failures, see
[docker#4036](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/4036))
To allow the `docker` daemon to start, regardless of whether `udev` sync is
`false`, set `dm.override_udev_sync_check` to true:
$ dockerd --storage-opt dm.override_udev_sync_check=true
When this value is `true`, the driver continues and simply warns you the errors
are happening.
**Note**: The ideal is to pursue a `docker` daemon and environment that does
support synchronizing with `udev`. For further discussion on this topic, see
[docker#4036](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/4036).
Otherwise, set this flag for migrating existing Docker daemons to a daemon with
a supported environment.
#### dm.min_free_space
Specifies the min free space percent in a thin pool require for new device
creation to succeed. This check applies to both free data space as well
as free metadata space. Valid values are from 0% - 99%. Value 0% disables
free space checking logic. If user does not specify a value for this option,
the Engine uses a default value of 10%.
Whenever a new a thin pool device is created (during `docker pull` or during
container creation), the Engine checks if the minimum free space is available.
If the space is unavailable, then device creation fails and any relevant
`docker` operation fails.
To recover from this error, you must create more free space in the thin pool to
recover from the error. You can create free space by deleting some images and
containers from tge thin pool. You can also add more storage to the thin pool.
To add more space to an LVM (logical volume management) thin pool, just add
more storage to the group container thin pool; this should automatically
resolve any errors. If your configuration uses loop devices, then stop the
Engine daemon, grow the size of loop files and restart the daemon to resolve
the issue.
Example use:: `dockerd --storage-opt dm.min_free_space=10%`
#### dm.xfs_nospace_max_retries
Specifies the maximum number of retries XFS should attempt to complete IO when
ENOSPC (no space) error is returned by underlying storage device.
By default XFS retries infinitely for IO to finish and this can result in
unkillable process. To change this behavior one can set xfs_nospace_max_retries
to say 0 and XFS will not retry IO after getting ENOSPC and will shutdown
filesystem.
Example use:
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.xfs_nospace_max_retries=0
##### dm.libdm_log_level
Specifies the maxmimum libdm log level that will be forwarded to the dockerd
log (as specified by --log-level). This option is primarily intended for
debugging problems involving libdm. Using values other than the defaults may
cause false-positive warnings to be logged.
Values specified must fall within the range of valid libdm log levels. At the
time of writing, the following is the list of libdm log levels as well as their
corresponding levels when output by dockerd.
| libdm Level | Value | --log-level |
| ----------- | -----:| ----------- |
| _LOG_FATAL | 2 | error |
| _LOG_ERR | 3 | error |
| _LOG_WARN | 4 | warn |
| _LOG_NOTICE | 5 | info |
| _LOG_INFO | 6 | info |
| _LOG_DEBUG | 7 | debug |
Example use:
$ sudo dockerd \
--log-level debug \
--storage-opt dm.libdm_log_level=7
## ZFS options
#### zfs.fsname
Set zfs filesystem under which docker will create its own datasets. By default
docker will pick up the zfs filesystem where docker graph (`/var/lib/docker`)
is located.
Example use: `dockerd -s zfs --storage-opt zfs.fsname=zroot/docker`
## Btrfs options
#### btrfs.min_space
Specifies the minimum size to use when creating the subvolume which is used for
containers. If user uses disk quota for btrfs when creating or running a
container with **--storage-opt size** option, docker should ensure the **size**
cannot be smaller than **btrfs.min_space**.
Example use: `docker daemon -s btrfs --storage-opt btrfs.min_space=10G`
# Access authorization
Docker's access authorization can be extended by authorization plugins that
your organization can purchase or build themselves. You can install one or more
authorization plugins when you start the Docker `daemon` using the
`--authorization-plugin=PLUGIN_ID` option.
```bash
dockerd --authorization-plugin=plugin1 --authorization-plugin=plugin2,...
```
The `PLUGIN_ID` value is either the plugin's name or a path to its
specification file. The plugin's implementation determines whether you can
specify a name or path. Consult with your Docker administrator to get
information about the plugins available to you.
Once a plugin is installed, requests made to the `daemon` through the
command line or Docker's Engine API are allowed or denied by the plugin.
If you have multiple plugins installed, each plugin, in order, must
allow the request for it to complete.
For information about how to create an authorization plugin, see [access authorization
plugin](https://docs.docker.com/engine/extend/plugins_authorization/) section in the
Docker extend section of this documentation.
# RUNTIME EXECUTION OPTIONS
You can configure the runtime using options specified with the `--exec-opt` flag.
All the flag's options have the `native` prefix. A single `native.cgroupdriver`
option is available.
The `native.cgroupdriver` option specifies the management of the container's
cgroups. You can only specify `cgroupfs` or `systemd`. If you specify
`systemd` and it is not available, the system errors out. If you omit the
`native.cgroupdriver` option,` cgroupfs` is used on cgroup v1 hosts, `systemd`
is used on cgroup v2 hosts with systemd available.
This example sets the `cgroupdriver` to `systemd`:
```bash
$ sudo dockerd --exec-opt native.cgroupdriver=systemd
```
Setting this option applies to all containers the daemon launches.
