File access issues when running as non-root user

$ edge device remove
[critical] Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/var/lib/docker/volumes/edge-device-data/_data/address' {}

Potentially related to #61

I think is due to the CLI process accessing root files, likely just needs sudo

Per #61

This is mitigated by changes in v1.7.2 #116 which use container-oriented volume management instead of interacting directly with the disk. This makes it simpler to configure sudoless Docker access without encountering file access issues.

The original behaviour of direct volume read/write can be reinstated by setting DOCKER_DIRECT_RW=true in the environment. The volume access issues obtain if not accessing Docker as root, but may be preferable for some users (particularly as it doesn't require pulling alpine to facilitate data transfers).

I am proceeding to close this issue as a duplicate.
