Describe the solution you'd like

After installing docker using the formula on Ubuntu 20.04 I cannot run non-root tools such as minikube because of authorization issue.

- docker: Not healthy: "docker version --format {{.Server.Os}}-{{.Server.Version}}" exit status 1: Got permission de
nied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdoc
ker.sock/v1.40/version: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied
  - docker: Suggestion: Add your user to the 'docker' group: 'sudo usermod -aG docker $USER && newgrp docker' <https:/
/docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/>

This is a classic post-installation error so I was surprised that even docker group does not exist.

The wanted feature is:

  • Ensure docker group is created
  • Ensure ${USER} is added to that group (optionally).
  • Ensure docker service watches and restarts after above steps.
