Description
In this issue the user experienced confusion when encountering a problem with docker. It is unclear whether it was not installed, the user was not in the correct group, or something else.
Add a detection step at startup to find out whether docker is installed, running, and accessible, and print clear warning messages about any bad situations detected.

This may be difficult to test, as it requires a specific test environment with the docker dependency missing. We could mock the checked situations at least to test the warning prints.
