Description:
Every time I reboot my system, the /home/<user>/.docker folder gets the root ownership, e.g:
drwx--x--- 14 root root 4096 Feb 16 11:43 .docker

When using a docker command, I get the warning:
WARNING: Error loading config file: /home/<user>/.docker/config.json: open /home/<user>/.docker/config.json: permission denied

My workaround currently is to switch to root and enter:
$ chown -R <user> /home/<user>/.docker/

But I don't know why this happens. I don't have this issue on other machines.

What I tried:
Removing docker using
$ pacman -Rsn docker
and
$ rm -r /home/<user>/.docker
reboot
installing docker again with
$ pacman -S docker
reboot
-> no change

Is there a way I can see which process does the change (and maybe why)?
On the stackexchange network I found the following to monitor the permissions
$ auditctl -w /home/<user>/.docker -p a
but it didn't work (didn't show anything in the log)
Probably because this happens during boot time
