October 25, 2025Oct 25 Hello,I updated my Unraid from 7.1.2 to 7.1.4 today, and I noticed that the Telegraf Docker won't start. I get the following message when opening the Telegraf logs, but unfortunately I'm a total noob when it comes to these things, having set up most of the Dockers using SpaceInvaderOne's videos.It says something about permissions, but I don't know how to solve it.2025-10-25T14:02:37Z I!

[telegraf] Error running agent: starting input inputs.docker: failed to get Docker info: permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get "http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.51/info": dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission deniedWould anyone be able to help me with this?A few years ago I set up the Unraid Dashboard using a guide, but it was pretty long ago. I do have more dockers that are needed for it to work, and I think I have Telegraf added since then for the dashboard to work.Many thanks!!Best Regards,Odom Edited October 27, 2025Oct 27 by Odom12 corrections
December 1, 2025Dec 1 did it worked before the upgrade? Have you changed anything in your telegraf.conf? Did you mount /var/run/docker.sock to your telegraf container and enabled the privileged option?
December 1, 2025Dec 1 Author Hello Tasches,Thanks for replying.Yes, it was working fine before the upgrade. It worked during all previous versionsI have not changed anything in the telegraf.confI haven"t changed anything to the telegraf docker for years, so recently I haven't mounted the docker.sock (don't know what that is)The privileged option was already enabled all this timeI have meanwhile deleted and re-installed the telegraf docker and even then it doesn't start. I always get the same information as listed in the first post.Beste regards,Odom
