Docker on Mac and Windows runs as the User, not Root

On the Mac, Docker runs as the user who installed it (not as root). This avoids issues encountered on Linux, like who owns the output files that are created!

Caution: Apple Silicon!

As of 06/08/2023: Docker on Apple Silicon (i.e., M1, M2, etc) is a work in progress. Although Docker is compatible, it is possible that containers that are built for Intel won't be fully compatible (despite Rosetta).

Caution: Multiple Users

Docker for the mac is designed for a single user. If you want to support multiple users with access to Docker on a Mac, you will have trouble (read: it seems to be pretty much impossible, but maybe I'm missing something)
