If you would like to configure your Docker server such that clients can connect to it via TLS, you can also use this role to generate the necessary certificates. The following variables can be used to configure certificate creation and signing: docker_tls_verify

Name	Description
docker_generate_certificates	If true, CA, server, and client certificates will be generated. Defaults to false
docker_certificate_directory	Directory in which to store the certificates. Defaults to /home/docker/.docker
docker_config_dir	Docker configuration directory. Defaults to /etc/docker
docker_daemon_conf_file	Docker daemon configuration filename. Defaults to /etc/docker/daemon.json
docker_server_hostname	Hostname of your Docker server. Used for the commonName field of the certificate signing request subject. Defaults to "{{ ansible_host }}"
docker_server_ip	IP address of your Docker server. Defaults to 0.0.0.0
docker_tls_verify	If true, require that TLS certificates can be verified by a root authority. Defaults to true
docker_ca_key	Filename for the CA certificate key. Defaults to /home/docker/.docker/ca.key
docker_ca_csr	Filename for the CA certificate signing request. Defaults to /home/docker/.docker/ca.csr
docker_ca_cert	Filename for the CA certificate. Defaults to /home/docker/.docker/ca.pem
docker_server_key	Filename for the server certificate key. Defaults to /home/docker/.docker/server-key.pem
docker_server_csr	Filename for the server certificate signing request. Defaults to /home/docker/.docker/server.csr
docker_server_cert	Filename for the server certificate. Defaults to /home/docker/.docker/server-cert.pem
docker_client_hostnames	List of hostnames of clients that will connect to the server. Defaults to []
docker_client_certificate_directory	Directory in which to store the client certificates. Defaults to /home/docker/.docker/client_certs
docker_client_certificate_cache_directory	Directory in which to client certificates will be copied to. Defaults to ~/ansible_persistent_files/docker_certificates

If you have specified a list of clients in docker_client_hostnames, the certificate for each client will be stored locally on your Ansible controller in the folder docker_client_certificate_cache_directory. You will then need to copy these certificates to the corresponding client.
