Bug 1124925

Description of problem: Cannot access the docker daemon using users that are members of the Unix group docker.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: Every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do a install of docker-io
2. Confirm that user X is in the group "docker"
3. Confirm the default permissions

$ ls -l /var/run/docker.sock 
srw-rw----. 1 root root 0 Jul 29 18:19 /var/run/docker.sock

4. Try to run a docker command

$ docker images
2014/07/30 11:55:32 Get http:///var/run/docker.sock/v1.12/images/json: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: permission denied


Actual results:

$ docker images
2014/07/30 11:55:32 Get http:///var/run/docker.sock/v1.12/images/json: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: permission denied


Expected results:

Changing the permissions on the socket file fixes the issue.

$ sudo chgrp docker /var/run/docker.sock

$ ls -l /var/run/docker.sock 
srw-rw----. 1 root docker 0 Jul 29 18:19 /var/run/docker.sock

$ docker images
REPOSITORY          TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             VIRTUAL SIZE
pg-image            latest              1755abce241d        About an hour ago   319.5 MB
redis-image         latest              bef8689ea31c        About an hour ago   133.6 MB


Additional info:
Seems to be a packaging issue, perhaps in the .spec file?

I'm using the following version of docker-io

$ rpm -q docker-io
docker-io-1.0.0-6.fc20.x86_64

$ lsb_release -a
