How do I configure the default bridge (docker0) network for Docker Engine to a different subnet?

The Docker Engine default bridge network is conflicting with our internal network hosts access. How do I configure the default bridge (docker0) network for Docker Engine to a different subnet?

You can configure the default bridge network by providing the bip option along with the desired subnet in the daemon.json (default location at /etc/docker/daemon.json on Linux) file as follows:

{
  "bip": "172.26.0.1/16"
}

Then restart the docker daemon (sudo systemctl restart docker on systemd based Linux operating systems).
