Docker connect: permission denied [Solved] in Linux

#docker

Problem

So you've got your docker up and running but on some day it says

Got permission denied while trying to connect to the
Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock:
Get http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.40/images/json:
dial unix /var/run/docker.sock:
connect: permission denied
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

your user is already in docker group, so

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

doesn't help

Solution

Bad:

sudo chmod 777 /var/run/docker.sock
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Good:

sudo setfacl --modify user:$USER:rw /var/run/docker.sock
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
