Run the Docker daemon as a non-root user
To create the docker group and add your user:
-
Create the docker group.
sudo groupadd docker
-
Add your user to the docker group.
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
-
Log out and log back in so that your group membership is re-evaluated.
If you're running Linux in a virtual machine, it may be necessary to restart the virtual machine for changes to take effect.
-
You can also run the following command to activate the changes to groups:
newgrp docker
-
Verify that you can run docker commands without sudo.
docker run hello-world
