    I think you could provide access to the socket using a "docker-socket-proxy" container. It allows other containers to access the docker socket, you can even control which actions are allowed and which are not. You can use a bridge network for the communication to the socket-proxy container, so the socket-proxy container does not need to map/expose any ports. In the other container you need to set the "DOCKER_HOST" env variable accordingly, e.g. "DOCKER_HOST=tcp://mydockersockerproxycontainer:2375". https://github.com/Tecnativa/docker-socket-proxy

    tecnativa's docker-socket-proxy does roughly the same thing but can be used for any container that requires access to the Docker socket.

    Have you checked-out any socket proxies? Instead of exposing the socket though a volume, it’s done through the local docker network through the proxy container. This allows you to enable/disable access to the socket API using environmental variables. This is the image I’m using: https://github.com/Tecnativa/docker-socket-proxy

    Docker’s root privileges are only a problem if you grant your container unrestricted access to the docker socket /var/run/docker.sock. For containers that need it, there are strategies to limit access only to the APIs that the container actually needs by using the docker-socket-proxy.
