macOS Sequoia (15.1.1) and docker fail at daytona serve with "Error: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?"

[idjordje]

Describe the bug
Installed latest Daytona image (v0.50.0) and tried to start server but got "Error: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?"
docker installed vie brew install --cask daytona

The .sock file that docker created is at: ~/.docker/run/docker.sock

Is there a workaround?

@idjordje can you confirm that docker is running normally and you can do docker ps?

[idjordje]

Yes, docker ps produces out. I think the problem is that daytona serve looks for docker.sock file under unix:///var/run/docker.sock while docker on macOS puts it under ~/.docker/run/docker.sock When I did docker ps I noticed it complained about missing .sock file and then noticed it’s in different location then what was daytona complaining about. I installed docker via brew install but it produces same error when installed via app dmg

Ah right.

Can you try DOCKER_HOST=<your sock path> daytona serve?

[idjordje]

Now I get this: (base) ***@***.*** ~ % docker ps CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES (base) ***@***.*** ~ % ls //Users/ivandjordjevic/.docker/run/docker.sock //Users/ivandjordjevic/.docker/run/docker.sock (base) ***@***.*** ~ % DOCKER_HOST=//Users/ivandjordjevic/.docker/run/docker.sock daytona serve INFO[0000] Starting api server on port 3986 INFO[0000] Starting local container registry...

@idjordje sorry for the late response, we were on holidays.

Try it like this: DOCKER_HOST=unix:///Users/ivandjordjevic/.docker/run/docker.sock daytona serve

[idjordje]

That solved the problem. Thank you very much.
