Is your terminal a WSL in windows

If so you can check the Docker Desktop app to see docker engine is integrated with which WSL distro WSL version 1 does not work with windows Docker engine WSL2 is required

Victor Churikov · Answer

If you re using docker desktop on MacOS and given that it works when you run it manually perhaps your docker sock is located at another path that is not ` var run docker sock` Assuming docker desktop what version are you using I m using docker desktop 4 12 on MacOS which symlinks by default the ` var run docker sock` path to your actual docker sock for example mine looks like this ```cictor Victors MacBook Pro ls la var run docker sock lrwxr xr x 1 root daemon 37 May 29 12 51 var run docker sock gt Users cictor docker run docker sock``` Version 4 13 0 of docker desktop does not create this symlink anymore gt By default Docker will not create the var run docker sock symlink on the host and use the docker desktop CLI context instead Version 4 13 1 added it back gt Added back the ` var run docker sock` symlink on Mac by default to increase compatibility with tooling like `tilt` and `docker py` Fixes gt So if you re using exactly version 4 13 0 that would be a problem Please check

Albert Wibowo · Answer

Yup and that was exactly the problem The docker sock is located in another path I did symlink manually and it worked now Thank you so much everyone for helping fire
