Configure Docker
By default,
the docker command requires sudo previlage to run
which is a little hassle since you have to type sudo every time
and type your password for sudo.
It is suggested that you add yourself into the docker group
so that you can run the docker command without sudo.
sudo gpasswd -a $(whoami) docker
newgrp docker
The command newgrp docker makes the group docker take effect.
You can confirm by issuing the id command.
If for whatever reason the group docker does not take effect,
logout and then login again to make the group docker in effect.
