Docker deamon not running error

[washaqq]

i installed fm right after installing python3.11 and Docker and i run the the code below to create ERPNext ;

# create example.localhost site with frappe, erpnext and hrms, version -> version-15
fm create example --apps erpnext:version-15 --apps hrms:version-15    

but i get this error;

❌ Docker daemon not running. Please start docker service.

and i checked if Docker is active by sudo systemctl is-active docker , i see it is active

i could not find the problem, fm installed on a freshly installed ubuntu 22.04 all updates, upgrades and restarts are done before.

Seems like your user doesn't have permission to run docker commands. To fix this issue you can add your current user to docker group using usermod -aG docker <youruser>

thank you for reply, i added the user to docker group, it did not solve the problem, still gives same error.

Are you able to run docker commands like docker version --format json normally using the same user ?
