" ./scripts/database-init-docker.sh" gives me this error.
Welcome @adk0971 !
Looks like a permission issue with Docker. It happens on unix machines !
First, make sure you followed the installation instructions for docker-compose, including the “Apply executable permissions to the binary” step.
If that’s all done, have a look at fix #2 on this page:
Let us know if you managed to run everything correctly.
Good luck !

I am still not able to run docker commands without using sudo in this solution 2.
Maybe I’m missing something then.
Have a look at similar but a bit more detailed instructions:
https://www.configserverfirewall.com/docker/run-docker-without-sudo/
You can first check if the previous command you tried worked as expected. Do you see your username when you run grep docker /etc/group?
Also make sure you’ve restarted docker (systemctl restart docker) or as a last resort, restart the computer and try again.
this command gives the following error
Failed to restart docker.service: Unit docker.service not found
this works fine. and returns docker:x:1001:adk0971
Did you try restarting the computer?
After that I must admit I’m out of ideas.
What’s your setup (OS, version, docker version)?
i restarted my computer . Seems it works.
