I’m trying out the new docker_ubuntu_24 OS image and the updated docker_ubuntu_22 OS image, and noticed three issues:

• docker build is using the legacy Docker builder that has been deprecated. Package docker-buildx-plugin should be included in the image.
• The docker compose command is missing. Compose is commonly used in Docker based applications including some fablib examples (they are currently using docker_rocky_8 or manually installing Compose). Package docker-compose-plugin should be included in the image.
• For docker_ubuntu_22 image, the ubuntu user is not added to the docker group, so that the Docker socket is inaccessible without using sudo. The user should be added to the group, and then fablib examples that contain sudo docker should be revised.
