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

Question

I have the following Dockerfile:

FROM ubuntu

ENV NPM_CONFIG_LOGLEVEL warn
ENV admin_user=\"PeerAdmin\" network_name=$1 version=$2 hversion=hlfv1     fabrik_         


        

Answer 1

It might be the case that the user with which you have logged in to docker engine is not having the correct permission. You can add the user to docker group with below command:

sudo usermod -a -G docker $USER

$USER is the username of the currently logged in user. Thanks
