About this task

After creating your client and server keys, now you configure the Docker Server to authenticate all requests using those keys, and expose the Docker API on Port 2376.

Procedure

  1. Configure Docker to use the certificates you generated in Step 2.
  2. Find or create the C:\ProgramData\docker\config\daemon.json file.
  3. Add the following properties to the daemon.json file.
    Be sure to replace items in these commands with the correct paths to your certificates:
    Note: The double slashes are important to copy exactly.
    {
"tlscacert": "C:\\Users\\Administrator\\certs\\ca.pem",
"tlscert": "C:\\Users\\Administrator\\certs\\server-cert.pem",
"tlscert": "C:\\Users\\Administrator\\certs\\server-cert.pem",
"tlskey": "C:\\Users\\Administrator\\certs\\server-key.pem",
"tlsverify": true,
"hosts": ["tcp://0.0.0.0:2376", "npipe://"]
}
