Description

Although this isn't a huge change, it's still something worth adding -

  • Create the 'docker' group
  • Add the 'docker' group to the 'photon' user

This will allow the docker daemon on bind to allow read/write to the Unix socket by the group 'docker' - Essentially allowing your 'photon' user to run docker ps instead of having to sudo it all.
