All the following command snippets are meant to be run from within an EC2 instance.

Which distribution

Knowing which distribution is being run is pretty important, as well as knowing which package manager is being used.

cat /etc/os-release

# NAME="Amazon Linux"
# VERSION="2"
# ID="amzn"
# ID_LIKE="centos rhel fedora"
# VERSION_ID="2"
# PRETTY_NAME="Amazon Linux 2"
# ANSI_COLOR="0;33"
# CPE_NAME="cpe:2.3:o:amazon:amazon_linux:2"
# HOME_URL="https://amazonlinux.com/"

In this case, [Red Hat Enterprise Linux (rhel)][rhel]/Fedora is the linux distribution, so yum will be the accompanying package manager.

Note

How to fix "dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied" when group permissions seem correct?

sudo setfacl --modify user:ec2-user:rw /var/run/docker.sock
