Ubuntu 24.04 docker command not working without sudo

  • 772

I have upgraded from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 and docker ps not returing any error or result. Before in 22.04 it was working perfectly. Now it just stuck at command. No Timeout, no Eerror.

But with sudo it works with sudo. My user is in already in docker group. Everything seems on place.

24.04

  1. From Linux post-installation steps for Docker Engine

    Check that docker group exists:

    getent group docker

    If it doesn't exist, create it:

    sudo groupadd docker

    Add your user to the docker group:

    sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

    The changes are active when you have logged out and logged in again, or executed the command:

    newgrp docker

    Now try without sudo:

    docker run hello-world

    Try setting your docker context to the default:

    docker context use default

    You can also take a look at which contexts you have

    docker context ls

    Other than that, I would try to run a container without the sudo command and then check the running containers without sudo. Could be some discrepancy in how the files are stored when executing it with and without root privileges.
