local invoke options for users without root Docker access?

[kaitlinchaung]

Description:

I am working on a server where I only have sudo access to Docker. When I try to use sam local invoke, I get an error message.

Observed result:

Error: Running AWS SAM projects locally requires Docker. Have you got it installed and running?

Steps to reproduce:

I was trying to locally invoke the Python3.12 HelloWorld example.

Additional environment details (Ex: Windows, Mac, Amazon Linux etc)

1. OS: linux-gnu
2. sam --version: SAM CLI, version 1.111.0
3. AWS region: us-east-1

$ sam --info
{
  "version": "1.111.0",
  "system": {
    "python": "3.11.3",
    "os": "Linux-6.5.0-1014-aws-x86_64-with-glibc2.35"
  },
  "additional_dependencies": {
    "docker_engine": "Not available",
    "aws_cdk": "Not available",
    "terraform": "Not available"
  },
  "available_beta_feature_env_vars": [
    "SAM_CLI_BETA_FEATURES",
    "SAM_CLI_BETA_BUILD_PERFORMANCE",
    "SAM_CLI_BETA_TERRAFORM_SUPPORT",
    "SAM_CLI_BETA_RUST_CARGO_LAMBDA"
  ]
}
