I keep getting this error while trying to run a bioinformatics pipeline depending on using docker:

error: "DockerException", message: "Error while fetching server API version: ('Connection aborted.', PermissionError(13, 'Permission denied'))"

I have installed docker and from running

systemctl status docker i get
