I am trying to pull a Docker image by this command
docker pull rabbitmq
then I got this error
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///home/nickie/.docker/desktop/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
When I ran sudo system ctl status docker the status was green (active and running)
I've then followed all the threads I could find on this platform, but no solutions solved my issue.
When I run sudo groupadd docker following this guide the console replied groupadd: group 'docker' already exists but even when I uninstalled Docker completely from Ubuntu and reinstall it from scratch, the issues reappeared.
Yes I can add "sudo" before any docker command I try to execute and the issue could go away, but I remember I did not have to do this in previous times when I installed Docker on other computers. So I need an explanation why this issue happened and how I could fix it.
Other threads I've visited: Docker: executng commands with non-root user inside container, How to fix docker: Got permission denied issue, Docker: Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock, Docker Permission Denied During Setup
Your user likely isn't in the docker group (see with
groups)If you have done this and it still doesn't work, you may need to sign out and back in or start a login shell to refresh the permissions
