CentOS - Oct 2017 - which group for running docker as a regular user on CentOS 7

Hi,

I have installed docker and would like to run the containers without sudo.

I have placed myself in dockerroot group, but still to no avail. Centos
doesn't have the operator group.

What should I do?

Thanks in advance

On my system it is just a group called "docker". Your mileage may
vary.

For security reasons the Red Hat and Fedora builds do not enable this
by default.

Accepting the risks and the consequences, you need to update the
DOCKER_OPTS in /etc/sysconfig/docker to include '-G dockerroot' so
that the docker socket gets created with the group dockerroot.
