# NAME
|
||
|
HOME/.docker/config.json - Default Docker configuration file
|
||
|
|
||
|
# INTRODUCTION
|
||
|
|
||
|
By default, the Docker command line stores its configuration files in a
|
||
|
directory called `.docker` within your `$HOME` directory. Docker manages most of
|
||
|
the files in the configuration directory and you should not modify them.
|
||
|
However, you *can modify* the `config.json` file to control certain aspects of
|
||
|
how the `docker` command behaves.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Currently, you can modify the `docker` command behavior using environment
|
||
|
variables or command-line options. You can also use options within
|
||
|
`config.json` to modify some of the same behavior. When using these
|
||
|
mechanisms, you must keep in mind the order of precedence among them. Command
|
||
|
line options override environment variables and environment variables override
|
||
|
properties you specify in a `config.json` file.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The `config.json` file stores a JSON encoding of several properties:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* The `HttpHeaders` property specifies a set of headers to include in all messages
|
||
|
sent from the Docker client to the daemon. Docker does not try to interpret or
|
||
|
understand these header; it simply puts them into the messages. Docker does not
|
||
|
allow these headers to change any headers it sets for itself.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* The `psFormat` property specifies the default format for `docker ps` output.
|
||
|
When the `--format` flag is not provided with the `docker ps` command,
|
||
|
Docker's client uses this property. If this property is not set, the client
|
||
|
falls back to the default table format. For a list of supported formatting
|
||
|
directives, see **docker-ps(1)**.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* The `detachKeys` property specifies the default key sequence which
|
||
|
detaches the container. When the `--detach-keys` flag is not provide
|
||
|
with the `docker attach`, `docker exec`, `docker run` or `docker
|
||
|
start`, Docker's client uses this property. If this property is not
|
||
|
set, the client falls back to the default sequence `ctrl-p,ctrl-q`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
* The `imagesFormat` property specifies the default format for `docker images`
|
||
|
output. When the `--format` flag is not provided with the `docker images`
|
||
|
command, Docker's client uses this property. If this property is not set, the
|
||
|
client falls back to the default table format. For a list of supported
|
||
|
formatting directives, see **docker-images(1)**.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can specify a different location for the configuration files via the
|
||
|
`DOCKER_CONFIG` environment variable or the `--config` command line option. If
|
||
|
both are specified, then the `--config` option overrides the `DOCKER_CONFIG`
|
||
|
environment variable:
|
||
|
|
||
|
docker --config ~/testconfigs/ ps
|
||
|
|
||
|
This command instructs Docker to use the configuration files in the
|
||
|
`~/testconfigs/` directory when running the `ps` command.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Examples
|
||
|
|
||
|
Following is a sample `config.json` file:
|
||
|
|
||
|
{
|
||
|
"HttpHeaders": {
|
||
|
"MyHeader": "MyValue"
|
||
|
},
|
||
|
"psFormat": "table {{.ID}}\\t{{.Image}}\\t{{.Command}}\\t{{.Labels}}",
|
||
|
"imagesFormat": "table {{.ID}}\\t{{.Repository}}\\t{{.Tag}}\\t{{.CreatedAt}}",
|
||
|
"detachKeys": "ctrl-e,e"
|
||
|
}
