run skaffold with non root user

[devopsmash]

I'm currently running my minikube with non root user on my ubuntu 20.04 with: minikube start --driver=none
But when I'm trying to run skaffold with non root user it's asking for sudo password

Expected behavior

Ability to run skaffold without sudo permissions

• Skaffold version: v1.24.1
• Operating system: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
• Installed via: skaffold.dev

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. start minikube with driver none: minikube start --driver=none
2. run any skaffold command like: skaffold build
3. you will be asked for sudo password

minikube should support running with non root user on driver none: kubernetes/minikube#3760

Could you run with -v debug and attach the log here? That will include the external commands being invoked. Skaffold doesn't invoke sudo or su, but clearly something is invoking it and the logs should help track that down.

it seems that it was an issue on my pc that minikube from some reason requested for sudo probably due to left overs from old minikube installations.
The related command was: /usr/local/bin/minikube docker-env --shell none -p minikube --user=skaffold
After re-install the mikube it didn't ask sudo for the command above

The only thing that might help on this scenario from the skaffold level can be only to verify that the current user can run minikube commands, and if not just to present the error. But it's not so critical.
