Permission denied when execute docker-compose command in Ubuntu Linux

I installed docker engine and docker compose in Ubuntu Linux 20.04LTS.

ubuntu@ip-10-0-2-13:~/myapp/src$ docker-compose -v
docker-compose version 1.27.4, build 40524192

I also ran beloe command to make executable of docker-compose

ubuntu@ip-10-0-2-13:~/myapp/src$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

But when I execute the docker-compose command, still get permission denied error.

ubuntu@ip-10-0-2-13:~/myapp/src$ docker-compose down

  1. Edit /etc/group by using vim or nano(my example by using nano).
sudo nano /etc/group
  1. Add your own user_group to docker group(my user group is "reza").
reza:x:1000:
sambashare:x:136:
testuser1:x:1002:
vboxsf:x:999:reza
vboxdrmipc:x:998:
docker:x:997:reza
  1. Save & exit (ctrl+x then press y then hit enter).
  2. Restart your machine.

I was struggling with this issue too.

I did not want to use sudo, because the containers do not show up in Docker Desktop. (Docker Desktop in Ubuntu not showing containers those are build with sudo privilege)

Then I discovered that "docker compose" (without the dash) is the updated version of "docker-compose" (Difference between "docker compose" and "docker-compose").

With "docker compose" it worked without the permission denied problem.

If you want to run the service without being root, you should read this https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/

You can add your user to the docker group with sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Then you log out and log in and you're ready to go !

Have you tried running the docker-compose up command with sudo?

eg: sudo docker-compose up
