Docker for Windows 10 error pipe docker engine access is denied

Question

I installed docker for windows on windows 10 operating system.
I’m able to run docker.exe commands in admin powershell environment, but I can’t do the same without any admin access

I have made the following changes in the docker configuration file:

{
    "group": "Power Users"
}

I’ve added the user to admin user group.

Is there any way to run docker commands without using run as administrator

Answer 1

You can do this by making the connection thru TCP. Open up powershell and try this command:

$env:DOCKER_HOST="tcp://0.0.0.0:2375"
docker ps
