Getting docker
error despite it being installed.
I get an error when trying to run repo2docker
repo2docker) mtg@mtg-ThinkPad-P53:~/DOCKER-CONTAINERS/RUFUS$ jupyter-repo2docker https://github.com/jandrewrfarrell/RUFUS
Docker client initialization error: Error while fetching server API version: ('Connection aborted.', PermissionError(13, 'Permission denied')).
Check if docker is running on the host.
However, docker
works fine:
(repo2docker) mtg@mtg-ThinkPad-P53:~/DOCKER-CONTAINERS/RUFUS$ sudo docker run hello-world
[sudo] password for mtg:
Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
(amd64)
3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
to your terminal.
To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
$ docker run -it ubuntu bash
Share images, automate workflows, and more with a free Docker ID:

I know that the issue is that I’m running repo2docker
as a standard user, but that I’m testing docker as root using sudo
I just don’t know how to solve the problem (for example, I know that if you run docker
without sudo
this can open you to security risks so I want to do this safely.
Thanks
