using Docker without sudo
Have you seen this error:
docker: Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Post "http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.24/containers/create": dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied.
See 'docker run --help'.
Run Docker commands without sudo
1. Add the docker group if it doesn’t already exist
sudo groupadd docker
2. Add the connected user $USER to the docker group
Optionally change the username to match your preferred user.
sudo gpasswd -a $USER docker
IMPORTANT: Log out and log back in so that your group membership is re-evaluated.
3. Restart the docker daemon
sudo service docker restart
