The users of Docker sometimes get the error : Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Lets see how to resolve it.
It looks like you are trying to connect to the Docker daemon, but you don't have the necessary permissions. This error usually occurs when you are trying to run a Docker command as a non-root user.
To fix this issue, you can try one of the following solutions:
Add your user to the docker group:
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
This will add your user to the docker group, which should allow you to run Docker commands without using sudo.
If you are still having issues, you can try running the Docker command with sudo. For example:
sudo docker [command]
This will allow you to run the Docker command as the root user, which has the necessary permissions to access the Docker daemon.
Change the permissions on the Docker socket:
sudo chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock
This will give all users access to the Docker daemon. This is not recommended for security reasons, but it can be a quick fix if you just need to get something done.
