Description

What's going wrong?

docker permission denied when use child_process.exec('docker restart xxx')

How could we reproduce this issue?

Supporting information

At first, deployer user is not in root:docker, so added.
then 'node app.js' is ok, but start with 'pm2 start app.js' still wrong

Error: Command failed: docker restart offlinechinamap_tileserver_1

Research direction

Start by comparing the environment for node app.js with the one used by pm2 start app.js, focusing on the child_process.exec('docker restart xxx') entry point and access to /var/run/docker.sock. Confirm that the Docker restart command works under PM2 with the deployer user; the issue provides no project file or test to run.
