Cannot connect to the Docker daemon

when running:

If you did not allow administrative control, then you will have to switch to the Rancher Desktop docker context:

docker context use rancher-desktop

Or, one step earlier: are you sure you selected "dockerd" as the container engine? If you are running "containerd" then you need to use

nerdctl

instead of

docker

to interact with the engine.

That looks like a really old version of Rancher Desktop; can you try upgrading to 1.6.2?

I can't I work for Oracle.

so when I do

docker context use rancher-desktop

, then I get: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///Users/tczutno/.rd/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?: driver not connecting

That is weird; does the socket exist:

ls -l ~/.rd/docker.sock

I had to bounce Rancher. And also do

docker context use rancher-desktop

And then it worked. Thanks for your suggestions

Ok, good. Glad you got it working! And hopefully one day you can upgrade too... 🙂
