How to deal with Docker permission denied when trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket

Help can be found here. Very useful Demo

Commands that worked for me (assuming you have Docker installed):

sudo systemctl status docker

You will get denied when you run this

docker ps -a

So add user to the docker group using the command exactly as it shows here. No need to look for your user ID

sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}

Open a new tab and sign into aws again. The following command shoud work

docker ps -a
