Hi again,

It seems I’ve fixed the issue.

What i did was input `sudo adduser (username)` and then the docker group in terminal and it worked.

I ran into another issue though which I’ve faced before when running lamp stack where when trying to update plugins on wordpress it asks for FTP connection. To fix this, i started by looking at what permissions are needed with `ps aux` then look for DevKinsta, in my case it was user.

Next i navigated to where the website is located /home/DevKinsta/public/(websitename) and then i changed the permissions to user with `sudo chown -R (user) (websitename)/` and now it is working fine.

Hope this can be of use to anyone who has the same problems as me!
