Permission Denied | Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket

Question

Recently got Permission Denied, and didn't see a solution on this site.

$ docker ps -a
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?all=1": dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied

Run all docker commands with sudo. – Amin Golmahalleh Dec 09 '22 at 11:18 — Amin Golmahalleh, Dec 09 '22 at 11:18

To avoid these permission issues run the following command

sudo chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock

Source

$ docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE     COMMAND                  CREATED          STATUS                        PORTS                                       NAMES
