tl;dr: dockman changing permissions of /docker an I don’t like it. Is it normal? Am I a control freak?

I’ve been using Linux for years, but always at a user level. Since last year I started tinkering, since I wanted to get out of big tech dependency. Now I’m running a modest home server and it’s been great so far.

The problem I’m facing right now is that the number or docker containers grew up to a point where I thought of using a manager of sorts. Dockman feels good enough for me but it keeps changing permissions of the docker folder to root:root, so I keep getting pushed out.

I guess makes sense that, if I manage everything from Dockman, it would take control, but I really don’t like that I can’t manage permissions of folders on my server or PC and delegating that to a mere docker manager.

Thoughts on this?

    Can you clarify the WHAT here? What is in /docker, your volume mounts, or your layers and internals?

    Also, how are you running it? Local process, or in a container itself?
