Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket

Question

This error persist even when my user is already in the docker group.

I added my user like this:

$ sudo usermod -a -G docker $USER

Did you log out and log back in? – Michael Hampton Jun 13 '19 at 22:58 — Michael Hampton, Jun 13 '19 at 22:58

Try this

sudo groupadd docker

And then this

$ sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

And then this

$ newgrp docker

If you are still having the issue, just restart your computer, especially when you are using zsh.
