@YG1975 There was a very recent upgrade of Docker to v4.18. Do you have it? Could that be causing a conflict?

[YG1975]

Thank you @carlosrochoa . No I have Docker v4.17.0... so I guess this is not the cause unfortunately...

[carlosrochoa]

I think that was a big upgrade, so maybe doing it might help with the problem?

[YG1975]

Thank you; I just upgraded Docker to 4.18 but no change unfortunately...

Is that related to #413?
What's the output of

 ls -l /var/run/docker.sock

[fxi]

You could try restarting the daemon if the local socket is not symlinked

sudo launchctl kickstart system/com.docker.socket

[YG1975]

Here is the output of ls -l /var/run/docker.sock:

The daemon restart does not seem successful either:

ok, same issue as #413
You did not have something like this ? Docker should make sure this link exists. If not, it could be a bug on their side. Or something on your system...

However... the fix is to launch this command after each restart as /var/run is mounted as a temporary file system. Docker should do this itself via launchd, but it's possible you opt-out this option by mistake.

ln -s -f ~/.docker/run/docker.sock /var/run/docker.sock

Yes indeed such a message appeared... and I ignored it. I just tried the command (in sudo) and it worked beautifully!
Thank you so much!
Is there anything I can do to fix it permanently in Docker?

[fxi]

I'm not sure. You could try to set

 "authDeclinedInstallSettings": true,

or

 "authDeclinedInstallSettings": false,

in ~/Library/Group\ Containers/group.com.docker/settings.json
(using a text editor, not a word processor)
