How to solve Docker permission error when trigger by Jenkins
In your VPS server terminal, do this to add your jenkins user to the docker group:

Refer to the docs

sudo usermod -aG docker jenkins
and then
sudo service jenkins restart
worked perfectly for me.

- Start jenkins with this command:
docker run -d -u root --restart on-failure -p "8080:8080" -p "50000:50000" -v $PWD/jenkins-data:/var/jenkins_home -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock jenkinsci/blueocean
