Docker client tries to connect to the wrong sock file

[Bartosz Woronicz]

That is true for both apt package and snap

it should /run/docker.sock instead of /var/run/docker.sock

$ docker ps
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

does this work?

sudo snap run --shell docker.docker

$ ls -latr /var/run /run/docker.sock /var/run/docker.sock
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Mar 25 04:54 /var/run -> /run
srw-rw---- 1 root docker 0 May 24 09:07 /var/run/docker.sock
srw-rw---- 1 root docker 0 May 24 09:07 /run/docker.sock

if yes, does it not work without sudo?

Is so, is your user in the docker group, and have you relogged in after adding userself to the docker group?
