Hi. I am trying to get the docker agent running on an ubuntu machine that has been somewhat restricted by the administrator. I was trying to run

prefect agent start docker

(passing several env variables) with the recipe created by

prefect agent install local

but I get a permission denied error and the agent never starts. I am able to start the agent without

supervisord

and it works fine. Any ideas? Logs in thread.

Hi @Pedro Machado - it looks like your

supervisord

process isn't permissioned to interface with the docker daemon. Have you tried

nohup

instead to put the agent in the background? Not sure this'll work but it's worth a shot.

Let me try that. I started it in a

tmux

session and it's still running but I'd like to find a way to set it up so that it will be restarted automatically if it dies for some reason. Any ideas on what would need to happen to give

supervisord

permission to use docker? I got

sudo

access so may be able to fix it.

To be honest I'm not sure what

supervisord

is dong under the hood that would cause you to lose permissions; if you're able to elevate the

supervisord

call that may fix it
