+### Configure the default AppArmor profile
+
+The `--apparmor-profile` option sets the path to an AppArmor profile definition
+for Docker's default `docker-default` container profile. This option is only
+supported on Linux hosts. The file can be a static profile or a Go template.
+
+The equivalent `daemon.json` configuration is:
+
+```json
+{
+  "apparmor-profile": "/etc/docker/apparmor/docker-default"
+}
+```
+
+Restart the daemon to apply changes. For template values, safe file placement,
+security considerations, and verification, see
+[Customize the default AppArmor profile](https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/apparmor/#customize-the-default-profile).
