Docker Rootless

Current Status​

DevSpaces is not currently tested with Docker rootless mode.

What is Docker Rootless?​

Docker rootless mode allows running the Docker daemon and containers as a non-root user, providing enhanced security by avoiding the need for root privileges.

Compatibility​

While DevSpaces may work with Docker rootless in some scenarios, it has not been tested or validated in this configuration. You may encounter:

  • Permission issues with Docker socket access
  • Problems with network configuration
  • Volume mounting issues
  • Service startup failures

Recommendations​

For the best experience and support, we recommend using Docker in the standard (root) mode. If you require rootless Docker for security reasons, please be aware that:

  • DevSpaces functionality is not guaranteed
  • Issues encountered may not be supported
  • Some features may not work as expected

Future Support​

Support for Docker rootless mode may be added in future releases. If you need this feature, please contact our support team.
