+### Bind Docker to another host/port or a Unix socket

+
+With `-H` it is possible to make the Docker daemon to listen on a
+specific IP and port. By default, it will listen on
+`unix:///var/run/docker.sock` to allow only local connections by the
+*root* user. You *could* set it to `0.0.0.0:2375` or a specific host IP
+to give access to everybody, but that is **not recommended** because
+then it is trivial for someone to gain root access to the host where the
+daemon is running.
+
+Similarly, the Docker client can use `-H` to connect to a custom port.
+The Docker client will default to connecting to `unix:///var/run/docker.sock`
+on Linux, and `tcp://127.0.0.1:2376` on Windows.
+
+`-H` accepts host and port assignment in the following format:
+
+    tcp://[host]:[port][path] or unix://path
+
+For example:
+
+-   `tcp://` -> TCP connection to `127.0.0.1` on either port `2376` when TLS encryption
+    is on, or port `2375` when communication is in plain text.
+-   `tcp://host:2375` -> TCP connection on
+    host:2375
+-   `tcp://host:2375/path` -> TCP connection on
+    host:2375 and prepend path to all requests
+-   `unix://path/to/socket` -> Unix socket located
+    at `path/to/socket`
+
+`-H`, when empty, will default to the same value as
+when no `-H` was passed in.
+
+`-H` also accepts short form for TCP bindings:
+
+    `host:` or `host:port` or `:port`
+
+Run Docker in daemon mode:
+
+    $ sudo <path to>/dockerd -H 0.0.0.0:5555 &
+
+Download an `ubuntu` image:
+
+    $ docker -H :5555 pull ubuntu
+
+You can use multiple `-H`, for example, if you want to listen on both
+TCP and a Unix socket
+
+    # Run docker in daemon mode
+    $ sudo <path to>/dockerd -H tcp://127.0.0.1:2375 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock &
+    # Download an ubuntu image, use default Unix socket
+    $ docker pull ubuntu
+    # OR use the TCP port
+    $ docker -H tcp://127.0.0.1:2375 pull ubuntu
