Installing Docker on local

Docker can be used locally to test functionality of many services we are using in our deployment environments.

Implementing sudo-less docker commands

Normally, you will have to use sudo to run any docker commands on your machine, which also prompts for a password. This can get annoying very quickly, so here's a way to go "sudoless" on docker: 1. Add yourself to the docker group: 1. sudo usermod -a -G docker your_username 2. Confirm that you are now part of the docker group: 1. groups 3. Log out of your user account and log back in 4. You should now be able to run docker commands without sudo, enjoy!
