I want to stop all running docker containers with the command sudo docker stop $(docker ps -a -q)
. But when I run it, docker outputs
Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.39/containers/json?all=1: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied "docker stop" requires at least 1 argument. See 'docker stop --help'. Usage: docker stop [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [CONTAINER...] Stop one or more running containers
Just running docker ps -a -q
outputs the Docker IDs, but when I combine it with a Docker command, it doesn’t work. Thank you.

Answer
I didn’t realize that the sudo is required in the command substitution also:
sudo docker stop $(stop docker ps -a -q)
