echo && snap list --all && echo && df -Th | grep -Ev "tmpfs|squashfs"

and create a new shell script: clean_older_version_snap_app.sh

#!/bin/bash
# Removes old revisions of snaps: https://itsfoss.com/free-up-space-ubuntu-linux/
# CLOSE ALL SNAPS BEFORE RUNNING THIS
set -eu
snap list --all | awk '/désactivé|disabled/{print $1, $3}' |

sudo apt install docker-compose

🚨 Docker-Compose can't connect to Docker Daemon

docker info

Surprinsingly, I had the following error :

Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get http:///var/run/docker.sock/v1.38/info: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied

For some reason I did not have enough privileges, the following command solved my problem :

sudo chown $USER /var/run/docker.sock
