Hey all! Followed the AWS EC2 instructions to get Airbyte running and run into the following issue when running

docker-compose up -d

Copy code

ERROR: Couldn't connect to Docker daemon at <http+docker://localhost> - is it running?

If it's at a non-standard location, specify the URL with the DOCKER_HOST environment variable.

I spotted from searching slack that a previous user had forgotten to run

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

but I’ve done that and it still doesn’t work. Anyone come across this before?

run

dockerd

in the terminal docker-compose will only run if the daemon is running, you can configure the machine to run dockerd automatically after booting up in sysinitd
