Abstract

Engine troubleshooting permission denied.

A common error message you may see when running integrations on engines is something like: "Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.35/images/json?t”.

Determine if you are using a Docker group or Dockerroot group by running one of the following on the server engine:
- ls -la /var/run/docker.sock
  The output from this command will show what user/group is running docker.sock. For example:
```
srw-rw----. 1 root docker 0 Apr 12 20:32 /var/run/docker.sock
```
  shows that it’s a Docker group and not Dockerroot.
- cat /etc/group | grep docker
  This command shows if you are running Docker or Dockerroot.
Note
Docker CE installations typically run Docker, while Docker EE installations typically run Dockerroot.
To fix a Docker user, run the following commands on the server engine:
1. sudo groupadd docker
2. sudo usermod -aG docker demisto
3. sudo systemctl restart docker
4. sudo systemctl restart d1
To fix a Dockerroot user, run the following commands on the server engine:
1. sudo groupadd dockerroot
2. Set the dockerroot group in /etc/docker/daemon.json. For example: { "group": "dockerroot" }.
3. sudo usermod -aG dockerroot demisto
4. sudo chcon -Rt svirt_sandbox_file_t /var/lib/demisto/temp
5. sudo systemctl restart docker
6. sudo systemctl restart d1
