Aditi Hilbert resolved MYNEWT-328.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> Docker container instructions should say to add user to group docker
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MYNEWT-328
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYNEWT-328
> Project: Mynewt
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: WISHLIST
> Environment: Ubuntu 16.04, mynewt 0.9
> Reporter: lloyd konneker
> Assignee: Aditi Hilbert
> Priority: Trivial
>
> If you follow the documented example for installing Docker and the mynewt
> container, it fails with "Failed to connect to Docker daemon", UNLESS you
> follow the instructions given at docker.com for adding your user to the group
> docker.
> I think the documentation could say "Be sure to follow the Docker
> installation instructions related to group docker. You must be able to run
> the docker command from a terminal without prefacing it with sudo." (An
> alternative fix is to add "sudo" to the newt script?)
> The instructions at docker.com for Linux installation using Ubuntu have
> "Optional Configuration" steps. The step of adding your user to the docker
> group seems necessary to use newt as described. Some of the other steps such
> as "Configure Docker daemon to start on boot" don't seem to be necessary.
