Thanks for the heads up. TBH I'm not sure if this was just a typo, or if it was legacy Docker behaviour. Regardless, I've updated this blog post.

Your other suggestion is a good one too. Although we probably should also note that ideally you shouldn't be launching Docker as root due to potential security concerns...

We really need to transfer all this info into our docs and then keep them up to date. Unfortunately there just aren't enough hours in the day to do maintenance, development, support and still keep on top of all of these somewhat lower priority jobs.

I've just opened an issue on our tracker cross referencing your post. I'm not sure when we'll get to it, but at least it won't get forgotten now...
