Question

I installed Docker in my machine where I have Ubuntu OS. After than I installed docker, when I run

sudo docker run hello-world

All it\'s ok

Answer 1

To fix that issue, I searched where is my docker and docker-compose installed. In my case, docker was installed in /usr/bin/docker and docker-compose was installed in /usr/local/bin/docker-compose path. Then, I write this in my terminal:

To docker:

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/docker

To docker-compose:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Now I don't need write in my commands docker the word sudo

The best solution of this issue was commented by @mkasberg. I quote comment:

That might work, you might run into issues down the road. Also, it's a security vulnerability. You'd be better off just adding yourself to the docker group, as the docs say. sudo groupadd docker, sudo usermod -aG docker $USER. Docs: https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/linux-postinstall/

Thanks a lot!
