Recently, I have tried installing docker on my Mac using brew
brew install dockerTo make sure it was installed, I ran
docker --versionFor a moment, It looked Docker is installed successfully, untiĀ I tried to check the docker processes using
docker psAfter, this I have started seeing the error message “Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock”
After, some juggling between existing issues reported on Github, I found that Docker doesn’t support installation using Homebrew. So I uninstalled the docker using
brew uninstall dockerand installed using the link : Docker Official Mac Installation
And Docker works perfectly now.
Until brew fixes...
