See this issue.
Docker best practise to Control and configure Docker with systemd.

  1. Create daemon.json file in /etc/docker:

     {"hosts": ["tcp://0.0.0.0:2375", "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"]}
    
  2. Add /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/override.conf

     [Service]
     ExecStart=
     ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd
    
  3. Reload the systemd daemon:

     systemctl daemon-reload
    
  4. Restart docker:

     systemctl restart docker.service
