Am I trying to connect to a TLS-enabled daemon without TLS?

Question

I\'m trying to learn about Docker, but I keep getting cryptic (to me) error messages.

Possibly the simplest example of this is trying to print the version of Docker

Answer 1

It is possible that you do not have the permission to the file yet. It happened to me after I add myself to dockergroup using

sudo gpasswd -a user docker

but not yet logout.

To resolve this, you can either re-login, or use sg docker "docker ..." before you logout.

If you are in group docker in /etc/group, you should be able to run it without typing password.
