Fixing - permission denied trying to connect to Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock

You can fix the issue in the following ways -

1. Run the docker command as "sudo" .i.e. - sudo docker-compose up
2. Assigning current user to docker group .i.e. - sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

**please remind people that after usermod you need to reload the bash shell** exec su -l $USER
