I use Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.11.0-37-generic x86_64)
I was following the instruction: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-docker-compose-on-ubuntu-20-04#
After the command: sudo docker-compose up -d
I got the error:

Hi there,
Is the Docker service up and running? You can check this with the following command:

Then in order to apply this new user group membership, you will need to either log out of the server and back in, or run this command:
Let me know how it goes. Best, Bobby
