Docker installation does not set proper permissions on socket

[jkempf42]

The installation of Docker does not set proper permissions on the socket, and as a result an error message occurs when you try to start docker-compose. The following will fix the problem:

sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker

Hi @Jak42, thank you for opening this issue. The script does have the command to add the current user to the docker group as seen here in line 37: https://github.com/VOLTTRON/volttron-docker/blob/main/docker_install_ubuntu.sh#L37

Can you outline the steps to reproduce this error? Can you also paste the error that you saw? Also, what was the environment that you ran this script in?

Mark, Actually, this is a general Docker problem. The Unix socket Docker opens requires root permissions to use, so the incantation I gave in the bug report is the recommended way to fix the problem. I didn't use the script to install Docker, since I was running on Ubuntu 20.04 and not 18.04. So I think you can just close the bug. Sorry about the confusion. jak
