How can I use docker without sudo?
Raw
docker-any-user.md
  1. Add the docker group if it doesn't already exist:
    sudo groupadd docker
  1. Add the connected user "${USER}" to the docker group. Change the user name to match your preferred user:
  sudo gpasswd -a ${USER} docker

  1. Restart the Docker daemon:

    	sudo service docker restart

  2. Either do a newgrp docker or log out/in to activate the changes to groups.
