Issue
The daemon configuration overview states there are only two ways to configure the Docker daemon, but omits environment variables as a third configuration method:
There are two ways to configure the Docker daemon:
- Use a JSON configuration file. This is the preferred option, since it keeps
all configurations in a single place.
- Use flags when starting
dockerd.
However, proxy.md in the same directory documents environment variables as a distinct configuration method:
There are two ways you can configure these settings:
Why this matters
A reader following the overview page would not learn about environment variables as a configuration option. When they later encounter proxy configuration documentation that relies on environment variables, they may be confused about whether this is a general daemon configuration method or specific to proxies only.
The overview page should provide a complete picture of all daemon configuration methods so readers understand their options from the start.
Suggested fix
Update the "Configure the Docker daemon" section in _index.md to mention all three configuration methods:
There are three ways to configure the Docker daemon:
- Use a JSON configuration file. This is the preferred option, since it keeps
all configurations in a single place.
- Use flags when starting `dockerd`.
- Set environment variables in the daemon's startup environment (used for specific settings like proxy configuration).
Or add a note that some specific configurations (like proxies) can also use environment variables, with a link to the relevant documentation.
