Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket

Dung Do Tien Dec 28 2020 635

After I installed docker on the AWS ubuntu 20.04 server I typed in some docker commands. For example:

 docker ps

But I got an error : 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.

Please suggest me how to solve this problem

    You need to give /var/run/docker.sock read permission by executing the command:

     sudo chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock
