1. I also had the same issue. The problem was in sockets allocated to docker-daemon and docker-client.
2. First, permission was not set for the docker-client on docker.sock You can set it using "sudo usermod -aG docker $USER"
3. Then check your bash file where the docker-client is running, For me it was on 0.0.0.0:2375, while docker-daemon was running on unix socket.(It was set in the configuration file of dockerd).

5. But if you want to make it work on TCP port instead of unix socket, change the configuration file of dockerd and set it on 0.0.0.0.2375 and keep the line in bash as it is if present or set it to 0.0.0.0:2375.
