 ### Docker Daemon Proxy Configuration
 
-Docker has a background daemon, responsible for downloading images and starting them. Sometimes, proxy configuration from your system won't carry over and it will fail to download images. In that case, configure the proxy for this daemon as described in the [official documentation](https://docs.docker.com).
+Docker has a background daemon, responsible for downloading images and starting them. Sometimes, proxy configuration from your system won't carry over and it will fail to download images. In that case, you'll need to configure the proxy inside the system unit of docker by creating the file `/etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/proxy.conf` with the following content:
 
+``` ini
+[Service]
+Environment="HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:3128"
+Environment="HTTPS_PROXY=https://proxy.example.com:3128"
+Environment="NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1,some-local-docker-registry.example.com,.corp"
+```
+
+After saving the configuration file, you'll need to reload the system daemon for the changes to take effect:
+
+``` shell
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+```
+
+and restart the docker daemon:
+
+``` shell
+sudo systemctl restart docker
+```
+
+For more information, please consult the [official documentation](https://docs.docker.com/config/daemon/systemd/#httphttps-proxy).
