Azure IoT Edge – docker.sock connect: permission denied

Azure, Azure IoT, Edge, Linux, System 1 Minute

The Azure IoT Edge getting started guide currently utilizes VS Code and Docker to create modules. If you receive “docker.sock connect: permission denied” after trying to build, run the following two commands in the terminal:

  • sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
  • newgrp docker

If you still have the error, restart your machine and try again.

As a Microsoft MVP for Azure, I focus on IoT, Mobile, and Cloud; trying to find the subsection of those and make them work together. Lately, I have working with AI and Edge computing as the they evolve together. I enjoy public speaking, walks on the beach, and no linker errors.
