I`ve the same problem. Thought first it is a config error or an error because of running the VM in Microsoft Azure ;-) But I'm not alone!! |
Did you log out and back in after adding yourself to the docker group? |
Sorry yes that was the problem!! After rebooting the server it worked!! Thanks |
@mech7 was that the issue for you as well? |
Yes seems to be working now thanks :) |
This issue still persists on Trusty and Docker 0.9.1, build 3600720.

Hello, I'm running into that "permission denied" issue with Docker version 1.1.1, build bd609d2 But then I tried the same Vagrant configuration with Raring and the standard virtualbox provider instead of LXC, then Docker just worked... If you want to try to reproduce, I just do Vagrant up with this Vagrant file: If instead I modify the Vagrantfile to use config.vm.box = 'fgrehm/raring64-lxc instead of just raring64 Does this helps? cc @mitchellh @fgrehm |
What init system are you using? |
I'm getting the same too on a vagrant VM (ubuntu 14), I have to use |
The issue comes back with me too :( |

Thanks!! It worked for me on |
@cyroxx Thank you. It works! I wasted a couple of hours...now I am happy :) |

The @cyroxx 's solution works! It is explained in "Giving non-root access" section of official Docker docs. |
Without adding the user to the group you're going to hit nasty TLS errors. Figured I'd save the next guy the hassle. Problem more accurately described here: moby#5314

The instructions here need a bump too: It suggests the user change at the end of install, but following the install directions directly on 14.04 will eventually lead you to this issue post! |
@tianon Logout->Login sometimes is not appropriate, as we have process running. Any idea if this related to docker ? If yes, then it should be marked as bug. |
Had the same problem, tried logging out and logging back in and that did not fix it, but when I rebooted my machine I did not get any errors running docker commands with my non-root use. tl;dr: if logging out and logging back does not work, try rebooting |
Thanks @cyroxx +1 |
I added myself to the docker group, then I did log out and did log in, after that I checked if I was in the docker group
But couldn't run I checked if the docker service was running
What I did next was to restart the |
A side note: If you are trying to connect to socket from within a container, make sure you have the group docker defined within the container too.
If you see that docker group is not there in your container, edit /etc/group file to make an entry something like (see group file syntax)
Replace jenkins with container User. A container restart may be required after editing /etc/group file. |
You can fix this error by add you to docker group:
when logout and login back |
I have ubuntu as a vm. Did everything as mentioned above and even see docker in groups but still get this error. |
After adding user to the docker group, I find out that |
You don't need to reboot. The reboot was to trigger the restart of the "docker.service". Therefore, you just need "sudo systemctl restart docker.service" I have test this on CentOS7 and it works. You still need to include the user in the group as mentioned above. |
FYI, the one thing I missed was that the docker group MUST be locally defined on the server in /etc/group - I am using OpenLDAP, and although everything looked fine, I still had the permission denied error until I did this. |
@delta-one-one looks like that may be addressed by #38126 (once reviewed, tested, and merged) |
how to debug if after joining the group the persmission is still not present?
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, docker 18.09.0, build 4d60db4 (running on a real hardware; sudo mode works fine) |
Same issue as @1605200517, same OS/docker version and on GCE instance. In my case, it seems to happen randomly. |
@martiuh s solution was the thing I was missing.
I didn't find it in the docs (not so deeper search though), shouldn't it be included there? |
@sam-cyglass I think yes it should. |
I followed the post-installation instructions and worked for me: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/ IMPORTANT: after making changes, reboot. |
I installed docker.io on ubuntu 14.04 only i always get this message:
dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: permission denied
I read this was an old problem, i see it does belong to the group docker, and I have tried adding myself to the docker group to but i still get this message, does anybody know how to solve it?
The version that comes with ubuntu is: Docker version 0.9.1, build 3600720
