even after adding sudo groupadd docker and sudo usermod -aG docker $USER , i cannot use docker commands without sudo
`Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get "http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.24/containers/json": dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied.
So I had to use "sudo". How can I get ignored sudo in docker commands
After I installed Docker Desktop my Docker context was changed. Docker CLI commands are being forwarded to Docker Desktop instead of Docker Engine. If you have the same problem you can try
docker context ls
docker context use default
Create a group called docker and add yourself to it using the commands
sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
Then you can run docker commands without using sudo.
Try restarting docker.
sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
sudo service docker restart
Giving more access to this file solves the problem, but it is not recommended it gives every local process and user unrestricted root access over the host!
chmod 777 /var/run/docker.sock
then you don't need to use sudo but it's not recommended.
chmod 0777 is almost always wrong -- you pretty much never want a file that's both world-writeable and executable. For the Docker socket in particular you should make clear that "creates a security problem" is equivalent to "gives every local process and user unrestricted root access over the host"; that's a big enough problem that I wouldn't recommend it in an SO answer.
if you have install docker desktop before than it created .docker directory
so just removing .docker directory it working
sudo rm -r ~/.docker
newgrp docker? See the more complete recipes in How to fix docker: Got permission denied issue.
