docker commands without sudo user even after adding groupadd-CodePudding

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:///var/run/docker.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

CodePudding user response：

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.

CodePudding user response：

Try restarting docker.

sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
sudo service docker restart

CodePudding user response：

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.
