 You can control whether the package is installed, uninstalled, or at the latest version by setting `docker_packages_state` to `present`, `absent`, or `latest`, respectively. Note that the Docker daemon will be automatically restarted if the Docker package is updated. This is a side effect of flushing all handlers (running any of the handlers that have been notified by this and any other role up to this point in the play).

 Variables to control the state of the `docker` service, and whether it should start on boot. If you're installing Docker inside a Docker container without systemd or sysvinit, you should set `docker_service_manage` to `false`.

 Docker Compose installation options.
 
-    docker_add_repo: true

+docker_add_repo: true

 Controls whether this role will add the official Docker repository. Set to `false` if you want to use the default docker packages for your system or manage the package repository on your own.
 
-    docker_repo_url: https://download.docker.com/linux

 (Used only for Debian/Ubuntu.) You can switch the channel to `nightly` if you want to use the Nightly release.
 
 You can change `docker_apt_gpg_key` to a different url if you are behind a firewall or provide a trustworthy mirror.
 Usually in combination with changing `docker_apt_repository` as well. `docker_apt_filename` controls the name of the source list file created in `sources.list.d`. If you are upgrading from an older (<7.0.0) version of this role, you should change this to the name of the existing file (e.g. `download_docker_com_linux_debian` on Debian) to avoid conflicting lists.
