Description
On a fresh docker installation in Linux - I haven't yet set the docker group up - hence I would need to use sudo - however if I don't know this, I got this error message which is misleading:
- it says to restart docker desktop 1) I'm on Linux - there is no Docker Desktop here 2) this is not the issue, the issue is the permission denied problem on the socket
We should report "Minikube can't access the Docker daemon, permission is denied. Suggestion: create the docker group to allow access and add $user to the group with sudo usermod -aG docker $USER" or something similar
minikube start --vm-driver=docker
😄 minikube v1.8.2 on Debian 9.11
✨ Using the docker driver based on user configuration
❗ 'docker' driver reported an issue: exit status 1
💡 Suggestion: Docker is not running or is responding too slow. Try: restarting docker desktop.
