Permission error to run docker on linux ubuntu

Question

I followed all the guidelines in the docker documentation to install on my linux ubuntu 22.02, but when trying to give the command

sudo docker run hello-world

The error is returned to me

docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?.

Can anybody help me?

Does this answer your question? [Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:/var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44678725/cannot-connect-to-the-docker-daemon-at-unix-var-run-docker-sock-is-the-docker) — LinFelix, Dec 13 '22 at 16:13
The question is, why should I run this docker daemon? In the documentation it doesn't talk about it at any time and also in the tutorial videos that you watch. I do not understand this — Routfin, Dec 13 '22 at 16:13
Docker daemon should be running so you can interact with the service! — DreamBold, Dec 13 '22 at 16:14
What can you do without running `ubuntu` os? The same goes to `docker` service — DreamBold, Dec 13 '22 at 16:15
Yeah, but how do i know my user? At no point did I create any user anywhere from everything the documentation asked me to lol — Routfin, Dec 13 '22 at 16:16

I'd recommend that you configure Docker to start on boot once you get it started using systemctl (i.e. sudo systemctl start docker) as others have suggested! Best of luck.

You can use `enable` for that as in `sudo systemctl enable docker` – LinFelix Dec 14 '22 at 10:06
