Changing permissions for /var/lib/docker (self.docker)

Is it a bad idea to recursively change the permissions for the /var/lib/docker directory? That directory is owned by root:root and the permissions are rwx--x---.

I'm hoping to be able to access my named volumes without using sudo so that I can easily back them up.

I think you’re thinking of bind mounts. Named volumes live in /var/lib/docker/volumes.
