Systemd dockerd.service: open /etc/docker/daemon.json: no such file or directory?

What is the exact same command? If you realyl run the same command including the --config-file option, you would need to get the same error. That option os not required and docker will use the same path by default. If you define the path, you will get the error message when the files doesn’t exist.
