Description
Looking over the Docker Compose logs, I found these warinigs:
dind-1 | time="2026-05-28T11:37:59.019673904Z" level=warning msg="Binding to IP address without --tlsverify is insecure and gives root access on this machine to everyone who has access to your network." host="tcp://0.0.0.0:2375"
dind-1 | time="2026-05-28T11:37:59.019681004Z" level=warning msg="Binding to an IP address, even on localhost, can also give access to scripts run in a browser. Be safe out there!" host="tcp://0.0.0.0:2375"
dind-1 | time="2026-05-28T11:37:59.019683934Z" level=warning msg="[DEPRECATION NOTICE] In future versions this will be a hard failure preventing the daemon from starting! Learn more at: https://docs.docker.com/go/api-security/" host="tcp://0.0.0.0:2375"
dind-1 | time="2026-05-28T11:38:00.020735521Z" level=warning msg="Binding to an IP address without --tlsverify is deprecated. Startup is intentionally being slowed down to show this message" host="tcp://0.0.0.0:2375"
dind-1 | time="2026-05-28T11:38:00.020766471Z" level=warning msg="Please consider generating tls certificates with client validation to prevent exposing unauthenticated root access to your network" host="tcp://0.0.0.0:2375"
I think it's a good heads-up warning to track, in case the service starts failing after a Docker update.

Research direction
Start by locating the Docker Compose configuration for the dind service and reviewing the Docker API security guidance linked in the warning. Determine how the service can avoid unauthenticated network access without breaking its consumers; done means the deprecation warnings are addressed and the Compose setup still works.
