For security-wise, I go pro for GreatDharmatma and Pankaj Kumar.

If you want to skip the logging back and access instantly you can assign rw permission to other users

sudo chmod o+rw /var/run/docker.sock

Solution 2:[2]

Without changing the socket rights maybe just creating a new user node for nodejs then add him to the docker group

sudo useradd -g node docker
