+## Using remote Docker host
+
+You can use a remote Docker host in 2 ways.
+
+1. Configuring docker provider to use a
+   [remote host](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/kreuzwerker/docker/latest/docs#remote-hosts)
+   over SSH or TCP.
+2. Running an [external provisioner](../provisioners) on the remote docker host.
+
 Other providers might also support authenticated environments. Check the
 [documentation of the Terraform provider](https://registry.terraform.io/browse/providers)
 for details.
