docker Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket Post dial unix var run docker sock connect permission denied

Question

Hi Guys,

I am trying to run one docker container from jenkins shell, but it is showing me the below error.

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/v1.37/containers/create?name=web: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied.

How can I solve this?

I got a similar error. Please make sure you create a usergroup for Docker, add Jenkins user to the group you created and give permission to the Jenkins user for Docker

sudo useradd user-name

sudo passwd user-name 

sudo groupadd docker

Sudo usermod -aG docker user-name

Sudo chmod 777 /var/run/docker.sock

Hi@akhtar,

Here you have to give root power to your jenkins user. Otherwise your jenkins user will not able to run any job in your system.

If you are using Linux system, then open /etc/sudoers file and write down the bellow given line.

jenkins ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Hope this will help.
