Selfhosted Rustdesk Server

[Foure]

Hello internet, 

 

I was trying to set up Rustdesk, following along with a NetworkChuck video, and my Ubuntu server (using AWS free tier) set up with docker is giving me this error: unable to get image 'rustdesk/rustdesk-server:latest': permission denied while trying to connect to the docker daemon socket at unix://var/run/docker.sock: get "http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.47/images/rustdesk/rustdesk-server:latest/json": dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied. 
 does anyone know what this error is? google isn't helping.

 

Thanks,

              Foure

Is the user running the rustdesk docker part of the "docker" group?

I find that extremely hard to believe. This one of the most common errors any first time docker user experiences. You havent setup permissions for docker to run in userspace.

Yes or else ask chatgpt which is faster.

 

Just add group to user you're using

sudo usermod -aG [username] [groupname]

Relog then you'll have acces to it.

 

In your case is group called docker.
