The welcome message shown to a user upon the terminal login whether it is via remote SSH login or directly via TTY or terminal is a part of motd also known as "Message Of The Day" daemon. The motd message can by customized to fit individual needs of each user or administrator by modifying the /etc/motd file or script within the /etc/update-motd.d directory.

Thanks! I was looking for this as a way of notifying me what files I have modified. So that when I updated my docker installation, I will be reminded to backup those files.
Thank you. That is what I am looking for.
