I’m looking to use the docker context feature with lambda cloud VMs. The problem seems to be that all docker commands in lambda must run with sudo and this probably blocks the docker context communication. I tried logging in a root but it’s not allowed. What’s the proper way to setup a lambda cloud VM as a docker context from my local machine?
I’m not at a machine currently to verify, but you have sudo access on the default “ubuntu” user. Couldn’t you grant access to the Docker group to this user as a one time operation for each instance and then use Docker Context from your laptop normally?
sudo usermod -aG docker ubuntu
-then get a new session and verify that docker commands work without the need for sudo
