Docker: Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock

Question

I am new to docker. I just tried to use docker in my local machine(Ubuntu 16.04) with Jenkins.

I configured a new job with below pipeline script.

Answer 1

If you're running Jenkins inside a docker container and your Jenkins is linking to the host docker then you can fix that just by the Dockerfile below:

FROM jenkins/jenkins:2.179
USER root
RUN groupadd docker && usermod -a -G docker jenkins
USER jenkins
