Description

The existing check only verifies whether the engine is present, not necessarily usable by the user executing the role. E.g. Docker client must have privileges allowing to talk to the Docker daemon.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing check in the os_images role and inspect how it currently verifies that the container engine is present. Determine how to validate usability for the user running the role, including access to the Docker daemon; done means the check distinguishes an installed but unusable engine.
