Run Docker as a non-root user

  1. To run Docker as a non-root user, you have to add your user in the docker group.
  2. Create a docker group if there isn't one:
    $ sudo groupadd docker
  1. Add your user to the docker group:
    ######Mention UserName is place of $USER######    $ sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
  1. Log out and log back in so that your group membership is re-evaluated. If you are on the EC2 machine, then carry out a reboot (stop and start is not required).

Now, we will have to be aware of the following activities with Docker containers before going ahead with the microservice deployment:

  • Run containers, persistence storage
  • Expose port
  • Create an image using Dockerfile and push it to Docker Hub
