Description

As part of testing we discover that the note we have that says

If you see a “docker socket permission denied” error while running these commands try closing and reconnecting your SSH window. This happens because your user was added to the docker group only after you signed in.

Now is a different error, and exiting the shell and getting back in doesn't work.

The tempooray solution is adding docker to the groups, then existing and getting back in.

We don't know why this is happening, we will investigate for the next release, for now we will be patching this.
