Need some help with: can't access docker socket as UID 1000

[ovizii]

I'm not sure if I get the problem here. In my compose for the docker-socket-proxy I set:

user: "1000:1000"

The user with the ID of 1000 is ovi and it is in teh docker group:

▒ id ovi
uid=1000(ovi) gid=1000(family) groups=1000(family),990(docker)

Permissions on the docker socket (untouched by me):

▒ ls -aln /run/docker*
-rw-r--r-- 1 0   0   7 Dec  6 22:18 /run/docker.pid
srw-rw---- 1 0 990   0 Nov 28 18:47 /run/docker.sock

And yet the container gives me this error. Did I misunderstand how to use it?

▒ docker compose logs -f socket-proxy
socket-proxy  | {"time":"2025-12-06T22:25:07.276Z","type":"INF","msg":"starting socket-proxy v2.1.6"}
socket-proxy  | {"time":"2025-12-06T22:25:07.278Z","type":"ERR","msg":"can▒t access docker socket as UID 1000 owned by UID 0. Please change the user setting in your compose to the correct UID/GID pair like this >> user: 0:990"}

I followed the advice and set:

user: "0:990"

and then I get this error:

socket-proxy | {"time":"2025-12-06T23:01:21.552Z","type":"INF","msg":"starting socket-proxy v2.1.6"} socket-proxy | {"time":"2025-12-06T23:01:21.556Z","type":"ERR","msg":"could not start unix socket listen unix /run/proxy/docker.sock: socket: permission denied"}

Not sure what else to check. Here is more info though:

    volumes:
      - "/run/docker.sock:/run/docker.sock:ro"
      - "./socket-proxy.run:/run/proxy"
