Adding user to docker group for access to /var/run/docker.sock

I’m still frustrated by my inability to create secure, encrypted folders for apps. I know this has come up for other people too. I don’t mind doing the normal thing, which is to add a user to the docker group (i.e. adduser <username> docker) so the user can access the Docker socket.

However, this doesn’t work on Scale 10.2.3 either from the command line or via middleware. How can I gain the privileges to run my own Docker instances instead of having to use the insecure .ix-apps folders and permissions?

On a side note, I’m also curious to know why rootless Podman isn’t also an option. That would be more secure for certain things, and while I know I could install it manually it would essentially void anything I did on the system as unsupportable even within the community forums. Podman isn’t (yet) a 100% complete Docker replacement, but both Incus 7+ and Podman provide OCI runtimes with a better security model, and I think we (as a community) ought to discuss that.
