Fresh install: docker.sock symlink created for wrong user

[voidrender]

Expected behavior

• Installed Docker for Mac
• docker run hello-world
• Hello World succeeds.

Actual behavior

docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host?. See 'docker run --help'.

I have OS X Server and Xcode Server installed and running on this Mac. This sets up a user for the build process called _xcsbuildd, and the symlink appears to be pointing to a path for the _xcsbuildd user instead of my user (ioveracker).

> ls -l /var/run/docker.sock
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  daemon  61 Aug 16 13:53 /var/run/docker.sock -> /var/_xcsbuildd/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/s60

Steps to reproduce

1. Install OS X Server?
2. Turn on Xcode Server?
3. Install Docker for Mac. Installation succeeds and Docker starts successfully.
4. Open Terminal and try to run docker run hello-world.

I found a workaround: remake the link to the equivalent file in my home dir.

~ ❯❯❯ sudo ln -sf ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/s60 /var/run/docker.sock
~ ❯❯❯ ls -l /var/run/docker.sock
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  daemon  63 Aug 17 13:44 /var/run/docker.sock -> /Users/ioveracker/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/s60

After remaking the link, docker run hello-world succeeds.

This looks like a duplicate of #47. We're investigating the issue.
