Hi, having problems installing redash docker on Ubuntu.

I’ve followed these instructions: https://redash.io/help/open-source/dev-guide/docker

When I run

docker-compose up -d

I get a long list of errors:

svanton@computer:~/redash$ docker-compose up -d

Any suggestions how to fix this would be much appreciated!

I ran the same command, except with “sudo” and it works. Although getting a different type of error now :slight_smile:

sudo docker-compose up -d

Edit.

This is probably because your user is not in the docker group. Add it by running the following:

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
