docker commands without sudo user even after adding groupadd

even after adding sudo groupadd docker and sudo usermod -aG docker $USER , i cannot use docker commands without sudo

`Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get "http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.24/containers/json": dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied.

So I had to use "sudo". How can I get ignored sudo in docker commands

    Create a group called docker and add yourself to it using the commands

    sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

    Then you can run docker commands without using sudo.

    Giving more access to this file solves the problem, but it is not recommended it gives every local process and user unrestricted root access over the host!

    chmod 777 /var/run/docker.sock

    then you don’t need to use sudo but it’s not recommended.

    After I installed Docker Desktop my Docker context was changed. Docker CLI commands are being forwarded to Docker Desktop instead of Docker Engine. If you have the same problem you can try

    docker context ls
docker context use default
