And in the docs[0], the manual instructions ask you to run their agent container with --privileged=true, which gives the container access to all devices on the host and more.[1]

Looks super neat but I'll pass.

Hm.. try to start it without --privileged. WI think it's not necessary now. I don't remember the main reason why we use that flag. Please try without and can you send me feedback about. If it will work good - we'll update installer. Thx you!

Troubling.

Having access to the docker socket which runs as root seems equivalent.
Exactly! I asked our developer team and they said me this reason.
