Description
The rootless install scripts install docker in $HOME/bin.
Consider changing that to $HOME/.local/bin, especially since docker already puts files under $HOME/.local/share/docker.
Making this configurable would be great as well. Right now the destination is set in init_vars but also hard coded in the systemd service file.

Research direction
Start by reading the rootless install scripts, especially init_vars, and the systemd service file where the destination is also hard coded. Trace how the install location is selected, then verify that the binary destination can use $HOME/.local/bin and that both installation paths honor the same configuration.
