    - `InsecureRegistryCIDRs` string[] — List of IP ranges of insecure registries, using the CIDR syntax ([RFC 4632](https://tools.ietf.org/html/4632)). Insecure registries accept un-encrypted (HTTP) and/or untrusted (HTTPS with certificates from unknown CAs) communication. By default, local registries (`::1/128` and `127.0.0.0/8`) are configured as insecure. All other registries are secure. Communicating with an insecure registry is not possible if the daemon assumes that registry is secure. This configuration override this behavior, insecure communication with registries whose resolved IP address is within the subnet described by the CIDR syntax. Registries can also be marked insecure by hostname. Those registries are listed under `IndexConfigs` and have their `Secure` field set to `false`. > **Warning**: Using this option can be useful when running a local > registry, but introduces security vulnerabilities. This option > should therefore ONLY be used for testing purposes. For increased > security, users should add their CA to their system's list of trusted > CAs instead of enabling this option.

Credentials ([user info component](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.2.1)) in the proxy URL are masked in the API response. Containers do not automatically inherit this configuration.
  - `HttpsProxy` string — HTTPS-proxy configured for the daemon. This value is obtained from the [`HTTPS_PROXY`](https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/html_node/Proxies.html) environment variable. Credentials ([user info component](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.2.1)) in the proxy URL are masked in the API response. Containers do not automatically inherit this configuration.

  - `ExperimentalBuild` boolean — Indicates if experimental features are enabled on the daemon.
  - `ServerVersion` string — Version string of the daemon.
  - `Runtimes` object — List of [OCI compliant](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec) runtimes configured on the daemon. Keys hold the "name" used to reference the runtime. The Docker daemon relies on an OCI compliant runtime (invoked via the `containerd` daemon) as its interface to the Linux kernel namespaces, cgroups, and SELinux. The default runtime is `runc`, and automatically configured. Additional runtimes can be configured by the user and will be listed here.

      - `Version` ObjectVersion — The version number of the object such as node, service, etc. This is needed to avoid conflicting writes. The client must send the version number along with the modified specification when updating these objects. This approach ensures safe concurrency and determinism in that the change on the object may not be applied if the version number has changed from the last read. In other words, if two update requests specify the same base version, only one of the requests can succeed. As a result, two separate update requests that happen at the same time will not unintentionally overwrite each other.

          - `ElectionTick` integer — The number of ticks that a follower will wait for a message from the leader before becoming a candidate and starting an election. `ElectionTick` must be greater than `HeartbeatTick`. A tick currently defaults to one second, so these translate directly to seconds currently, but this is NOT guaranteed.
          - `HeartbeatTick` integer — The number of ticks between heartbeats. Every HeartbeatTick ticks, the leader will send a heartbeat to the followers. A tick currently defaults to one second, so these translate directly to seconds currently, but this is NOT guaranteed.

  - `Isolation` 'default' | 'hyperv' | 'process' | '' — Represents the isolation technology to use as a default for containers. The supported values are platform-specific. If no isolation value is specified on daemon start, on Windows client, the default is `hyperv`, and on Windows server, the default is `process`. This option is currently not used on other platforms.

Additional configuration options for each security feature may be present, and are included as a comma-separated list of key/value pairs.
  - `ProductLicense` string — Reports a summary of the product license on the daemon. If a commercial license has been applied to the daemon, information such as number of nodes, and expiration are included.
  - `DefaultAddressPools` object[] — List of custom default address pools for local networks, which can be specified in the daemon.json file or dockerd option. Example: a Base "10.10.0.0/16" with Size 24 will define the set of 256 10.10.[0-255].0/24 address pools.
    - `Base` string — The network address in CIDR format

These specifications define vendor-specific modifications to an OCI runtime specification for a container being created. An empty list indicates that CDI device injection is disabled. Note that since using CDI device injection requires the daemon to have experimental enabled. For non-experimental daemons an empty list will always be returned.

    - `Address` string — The address of the containerd socket.
    - `Namespaces` object — The namespaces that the daemon uses for running containers and plugins in containerd. These namespaces can be configured in the daemon configuration, and are considered to be used exclusively by the daemon, Tampering with the containerd instance may cause unexpected behavior.
