From 9938c679ed20a18f5adcf0c0cdf4cd75ff24b729 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brandon Philips Date: Sun, 7 Dec 2014 18:44:07 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] docs: use systemd drop-ins instead of copying Copying the entire docker service file isn't necessary to add an environment variable, instead use a drop-in configuration file. The nice side-effect is that the user gets any vendor updates to the docker.service file.
