title: Accessing the Docker host pipe inside windows container with non-admin user
body: <p>In the last days I've managed to get working the Docker.net client in a Windows nanoserver container mounting the Docker's host pipe as a volume like in the example below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>docker container run -itd --user ContainerAdministrator -v 
  \\.\pipe\docker_engine:\\.\pipe\docker_engine mycustomimage
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However I've seen that to get things working I've also need to specify --user ContainerAdministrator otherwise standard ContainerUser user is used, and this not being part of the Administrators group the client will throw a "Access denied" type error when trying to access to the Docker Pipe.</p>
  
  <p>The question is if there are ways/configurations on host or container to overcome this behaviour using non-admin users specially in nanoserver images, when powershell is not available and you are forced to use the standard cmd?</p>
  
  <p>P.S. I use Windows Server 2019 without Hyper-V as host and Docker ee 18.09</p>
