11/01/2022, 7:00 PMThank you - I want to install in on Linux, like Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04

/var/run/docker.sockCan you please verify this yourself; I won't have time to test this until tomorrow

11/02/2022, 4:47 PMWe also have to use docker and docker-compose for the backwards compatibility, thus we’ll have to have this socket
I’ll verify this and get back to you, hopefully find time for it this week
Thank you for your help!
