I’m trying to execute a docker image within a Jenkins pipeline but I always come across this error. Any help?

Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.26/containers/hello-world/json: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied.

This happens when the Jenkins user is not added to the docker group. So first try to create a Jenkins user and add the user to the docker group. Follow the below steps:

1. Create a docker group if you haven’t done it already. 

$ sudo groupadd docker

2. Create a Jenkins user and add it to the docker group.

$ sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

3. Log off, restart your Jenkins and try executing the program. If you’re still getting the same error then change the access permission of the /var/run/docker.sock  by using the following command.

$ chmod 777 /var/run/docker.sock

Thank you Man
I was struggling immensely on this part..this is what made my day...huge huge thanks

Btw

chmod 777

is the worst security practice ever. The suffice should be to add the jenkins user to docker group and do a service restart of jenkins.
I totally agree with you @Jai. I think it should only be used in the worst-case scenario.
1. After adding jenkins user to docker group,

2. RUN -> newgrp docker

3. Restart the jenkins
Thank you so much vignesh.

RUN -> newgrp docker

This saved my day!
this is save my time too, Thank you for your comment

Change the permissions of the file:

$ chmod 777 /var/run/docker.sock

Thank you for your contribution. Please upvote the answer in case you found it helpful.

Cheers!
"chmod 777 /var/run/docker.sock" is working only one time. The next time I start and stop my EC2 instance, the job fails with error "dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied".
I have already performed: "sudo groupadd docker" & "sudo usermod -aG docker $USER"
The issue still persists. Do you have any other suggestions?
Did you mount this folder with your container?

bash into container as root user - docker exec -it --user root <dc5> bash

add user to docker group - usermod -aG docker jenkins

change permissions - chmod 777 /var/run/docker.sock
