Fix "Cannot connect to the Docker daemon" error on macOS/Linux

Raw

fix-cannot-connect-to-the-docker-daemon-error-on-macoslinux.md

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///Users/<username>/.local/share/containers/podman/machine/qemu/podman.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

Check the $DOCKER_HOST environment variable to see which socket Docker is using by running echo $DOCKER_HOST in your terminal.
Unset the $DOCKER_HOST environment variable with unset DOCKER_HOST.
Check your terminal configurations, such as ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc, for a line like export DOCKER_HOST='unix:///Users/<username>/.local/share/containers/podman/machine/qemu/podman.sock' and remove it.
Run source ~/.zshrc or exec $SHELL in your terminal to refresh the shell environment.

That's about it \w
