Hi  
I am trying to start OpenVidu docker container with `OPENVIDU_RECORDING= true` on windows machine. I have docker desktop installed on my machine with latest version (3.1.0). getting below error while start of docker container.

> 2021-02-26 13:15:54,922 DEBG ‘openvidu-server’ stdout output:  
> [ERROR] 2021-02-26 13:15:54,921 [main] io.openvidu.server.recording.service.RecordingManager - Exception connecting to Docker daemon. Code: 709: you need Docker CE installed in this machine to enable OpenVidu recording service. If Docker CE is already installed, make sure to add OpenVidu Server user to “docker” group: 1) $ sudo usermod -aG docker $USER 2) Log out and log back to the host to reevaluate group membership

“docker” group already contains my username

Hi,  
I understand that you’re using openvidu development container.

You need give to the container access to the Docker daemon with a volume `-v var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock`
