Why running docker-compose on ubuntu I got Permission denied error?

I have installed fresh kubuntu 22.04 on my laptop and when I try to install docker I have installed docker-ce and docker-compose :

Description: Docker: the open-source application container engine
Docker is a product for you to build, ship and run any application as a
lightweight container
.
Docker containers are both hardware-agnostic and platform-agnostic. This means
they can run anywhere, from your laptop to the largest cloud compute instance and
everything in between - and they don't require you to use a particular
language, framework or packaging system. That makes them great building blocks
for deploying and scaling web apps, databases, and backend services without
depending on a particular stack or provider.

I have run command :

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

without errors.
But running docker on my project I got "Permission denied" error anyway

serge@serge-at-home:/_wwwroot/lar/FilamentBanners/__DOCKER$ docker-compose up -d --build

also I run commands :

usermod -aG docker $USER

and

newgrp - docke

But the same error anyway... What did I miss during installation ?

    You're running the old Docker Compose (docker-compose), which is no longer developed (and is also not included in the Docker repos anymore).

    I would recommend switching to the new Docker Compose V2 plugin (docker compose), instead of troubleshooting unsupported software.

    First remove the old package: (from Ubuntu repos, not matching your Docker version)

    sudo apt-get remove docker-compose

    Now install the new version: (from Docker repos)

    sudo apt-get install docker-compose-plugin

    From now on, instead of using docker-compose, use docker compose instead - also see here for creating an alias.
