+## Use a remote Docker host for authentication
+
+There are two ways to use a remote Docker host for authentication:
+
+- Configure the Docker provider to use a
+  [remote host over SSH or TCP](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/kreuzwerker/docker/latest/docs#remote-hosts).
+- Run an [external provisioner](../../provisioners.md) 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)
