Docker permission denied errors frustrate Linux users
Original: The Error You run docker ps or docker compose up on Linux and get hit with: permission denied while trying to connect to
Linux users running docker ps or docker compose up are hitting a 'permission denied' error when connecting to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. The problem occurs because the daemon runs as root and its Unix socket is owned by the docker group, so users outside that group cannot connect. The standard fix is adding your user to the docker group or using sudo, though some caution that group membership effectively grants root access.
Why now: It is a common, recurring stumbling block for developers setting up Docker on Linux, and guidance on fixing it safely keeps circulating.
