James O. D. Hunt 52690de805 docs: Emphasise default docker config
Improved the Docker installation instructions by making it clear *which*
of the multiple ways of configuration Docker for Kata is the default,
and that it is not necessary to do anything further if users select the
automatic installation method.

Fixes: #551.

# Install Docker for Kata Containers on CentOS
> **Note:**
>
> - This guide assumes you have
> [already installed the Kata Containers packages](../centos-installation-guide.md).
1. Install the latest version of Docker with the following commands:
> **Notes:**
>
> - This step is only required if Docker is not installed on the system.
> - Docker version 18.09 [removed devicemapper support](https://github.com/kata-containers/documentation/issues/373).
> If you wish to use a block based backend, see the options listed on https://github.com/kata-containers/documentation/issues/407.
```bash
$ sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
$ sudo yum -y install docker-ce
```
For more information on installing Docker please refer to the
[Docker Guide](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/centos).
2. Configure Docker to use Kata Containers by default with **ONE** of the following methods:
1. systemd (this is the default and is applied automatically if you select the
[automatic installation](https://github.com/kata-containers/documentation/tree/master/install#automatic-installation) option)
```bash
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/
$ cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/kata-containers.conf
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -D --add-runtime kata-runtime=/usr/bin/kata-runtime --default-runtime=kata-runtime
EOF
```
2. Docker `daemon.json`
Add the following definitions to `/etc/docker/daemon.json`:
```json
{
"default-runtime": "kata-runtime",
"runtimes": {
"kata-runtime": {
"path": "/usr/bin/kata-runtime"
}
}
}
```
3. Restart the Docker systemd service with the following commands:
```bash
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl restart docker
```
4. Run Kata Containers
You are now ready to run Kata Containers:
```bash
$ sudo docker run busybox uname -a
```
The previous command shows details of the kernel version running inside the
container, which is different to the host kernel version.
