I would like to run a docker container from an ordinary user (not root).

- name: Install ipython/scipyserver  
remote\_user marcel  
docker:  
name: mycontainer  
image: ipython/scipyserver  
state: reloaded  
pull: always

But when I look the processus (ps aux) I see that the docker processus still belongs to root and not to marcel.

Any help is welcome.
