Description

Description

In the documentation related to Running a Docker daemon behind an HTTPS_PROXY, it's written:

2. Ask your network admin for the proxy's CA certificate and append them to
   `/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt`

Perhaps, we should add a remark explaining that this path is for the RH family distributions (because it can be different with other Linux distributions. e.g. for Debian and Ubuntu it's /etc/ssl/certs).

Research direction

Start with the linked Docker documentation section, “Running a Docker daemon behind an HTTPS_PROXY,” and locate the source for the certificate-path example. Update the note to clarify that /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt is used by Red Hat-family distributions and mention the differing Debian and Ubuntu path.】【。
