# Custom socket

If you need to specify a custom Docker socket (e.g. because you're using Podman), you can use the `socket` option. Here's an example:

```jsonc
{
  "socket": "/run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock"
  // Other options
}
```

You can also specify a TCP socket if you're using a remote Docker host or a [proxy](https://github.com/Tecnativa/docker-socket-proxy):

```jsonc
{
  "socket": "tcp://localhost:2375"
  // Other options
}
```
