Enable TCP port 2375 for external connection to Docker

Enable TCP port 2375 for external connection to Docker

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

For Raspberry Pi bookworm it is

[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// --containerd=/run/containerd/containerd.sock -H tcp://0.0.0.0:2375

without the daemon.json
