permission issue with docker and pipework

Question

I have issue using Docker with pipework for more advanced networking settings:

pipework eth2 $(docker run -d hipache /usr/sbin/hipache) 50.19.169.157/24

sudo: pipework: command not found

sudo pipework tap2 $(docker run -d ajn_sshd) 192.168.2.221/24

Post http:///var/run/docker.sock/v1.12/containers/create: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: permission denied
sudo: pipework: command not found

pipework tap2 $(docker run -d ajn_sshd) 192.168.2.221/24

Post http:///var/run/docker.sock/v1.12/containers/create: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: permission denied
bash: /usr/local/bin/pipework: Permission denied

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Instead of tapx and ethx, I should have used bridge interfaces.

pipework uses bridge interfaces to bridge between the two virtual interfaces: one inside the container, renamed as 'ethx', and one in the docker host vethxxxxx.

Answer 2

Try using the -i option for sudo, which keeps your PATH.

sudo -i pipework eth2 $(sudo docker run -d hipache /usr/sbin/hipache) 50.19.169.157/24
