I have no problems running the test "Hello World" image.

But when I try to pass the --env-file variable as part of my docker run command I am getting docker: open .env: permission denied.

I have tried granting full permissions on my .env file but not joy still.

The command I am running is docker run --network host --env-file .env <IMAGE_ID>

Any help appreciated

Step 1: Add the current user to the docker group by executing the below command

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Step 2: Change the permissions of docker socket which can able to connect to the docker daemon

sudo chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock

A clean reinstall of docker fixed the problem
