> If you follow the documented example for installing Docker and the mynewt container, it fails with "Failed to connect to Docker daemon", UNLESS you follow the instructions given at docker.com for adding your user to the group docker.
> I think the documentation could say "Be sure to follow the Docker installation instructions related to group docker.  You must be able to run the docker command from a terminal without prefacing it with sudo."  (An alternative fix is to add "sudo" to the newt script?)
> The instructions at docker.com for Linux installation using Ubuntu have "Optional Configuration" steps.  The step of adding your user to the docker group seems necessary to use newt as described.  Some of the other steps such as "Configure Docker daemon to start on boot" don't seem to be necessary.
