When I write $ docker info I get:

Client:
 Context:    desktop-linux
 Debug Mode: false
 Plugins:
  buildx: Docker Buildx (Docker Inc., v0.10.4)

Server:
ERROR: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///home/aotsaidera/.docker/desktop/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
errors pretty printing info

Docker daemon is active and is listening at /var/run/docker.sock:

I tried changing the path by following the steps here: https://geekflare.com/change-docker-sock-file-path/

When I entered $ sudo gedit /etc/init/docker.conf the file was empty, so I copied-pasted the one from the link and changed the path to /var/run/docker.sock but it didn't work and I left the file blank

Also tried pasting DOCKER_SOCKET = "/var/run/docker.sock" in

/etc/init/docker.conf but it didn't help

I am successfully connected to the docker API using Intellij, but can't figure out how to fix the socket path in the terminal

  • Isn't it `DOCKER_HOST`? – tadman May 28 '23 at 22:32

    If you are using Docker Desktop on your linux workstation, please read this article: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/faqs/linuxfaqs/ >> While it’s possible to run both Docker Desktop and Docker Engine simultaneously, there may be situations where running both at the same time can cause issues... – Sergey K May 29 '23 at 06:09
  • Thank you! I was wondering why when I start Docker Desktop the `docker info` command stopped producing the error and connected, but when I shut it, the error reappeared. – Lachezar Kolev May 29 '23 at 08:31
  • If you have in fact installed Docker Desktop (the error message suggests that too), does [Docker not working without sudo in Ubuntu 22.04](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73671461/docker-not-working-without-sudo-in-ubuntu-22-04) describe your problem, and does its accepted answer (`docker context use default`) work for you? – David Maze May 29 '23 at 10:48
  • Yes, it describes my problem and the accepted answer works for me. Sorry that I didn't find the linked thread and I am sorry for the duplicate question – Lachezar Kolev May 29 '23 at 13:05
