How to fix docker: Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket

After an upgrade I got the permission denied. Doing the steps of ‘mkb’ post install steps don’t have change anything because my user was already in the ‘docker’ group; I retry-it twice any way without success.

After an search hour this following solution finaly worked :

sudo chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock

While doing production config i got the permission issue.I tried below solution to resolve the issue.

Error Message**

    ubuntu@node1:~$ docker run hello-world
    docker: Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Post http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.38/containers/create: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied.
    See 'docker run --help'.

Solution:permissions of the socket indicated in the error message, /var/run/docker.sock:

    ubuntu@ip-172-31-21-106:/var/run$ ls -lrth docker.sock
    srw-rw---- 1 root root 0 Oct 17 11:08 docker.sock
    ubuntu@ip-172-31-21-106:/var/run$ sudo chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock
    ubuntu@ip-172-31-21-106:/var/run$ ls -lrth docker.sock
    srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Oct 17 11:08 docker.sock

After changes permission for docket.sock then execute below command to check permissions.

ubuntu@ip-172-31-21-106:/var/run$ docker run hello-world

    Hello from Docker!
    This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
    
    To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
     1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
     2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
        (amd64)
     3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
        executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
     4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
        to your terminal.
    
    To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
     $ docker run -it ubuntu bash
