-!!! warning
-    For some reason Ubuntu 16.04 and some, but not all, systemd based distros do not read the defaults file parameters.
-
-Just run `systemctl edit docker.service` and add the following content to fix it.
-
 !!! info
-    If "systemctl edit" is not available, just copy the content to `/etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/override.conf`.
-
-The first empty ExecStart parameter is not a mistake.
