Caveats

To run dockerd as the current user, execute the following commands:
  brew install rootlesskit slirp4netns
  dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install

NOTE: As the lifecycle of containerd is managed by dockerd,
      do NOT run `containerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install`
      before `dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install`.

To run dockerd as the root user, use `brew services` with `sudo --preserve-env=HOME`.
