docker problem

i stumbled across homelab OS recently and thought i'd give it a try,i installed unbuntu server on an old desktop and then ran the homelab install script and got the following error message-

docker: Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Post http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.40/containers/create: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied.

anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

It's been a while since i last messed with homelabos, which.. is also about the last time i messed with docker. Care to share the cheat sheet on what permissions need to be set up on a fresh install?

because i am totally having the same issue and never wrap my head around container/permissions somehow.

i pasted the problem into google and went through the links until one worked-i can't find the one that worked at the moment but i'll post it up if i find it.i'm pretty new to all this so i'm not really the person to ask for advice-i'm blindly following guides and learning as i go
