Permission denied to Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock

Question

I have this Dockerfile:

FROM chekote/gulp:latest 

USER root
RUN apt-get update \\
      && apt-get upgrade -y \\
      && apt-get i         


        

Answer 1

A quick way to avoid that. Add your user to the group.

sudo gpasswd -a $USER docker

Then set the proper permissions.

sudo setfacl -m user::rw /var/run/docker.sock

Should be good from there.
