create dev environment failed: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock

[jonmelia]

This issue seems to have re-occurred in v4.16.2 on MacOS Ventura

Another for v4.16.2. As my Mac is managed by corporate, I can't add the symlink due to permissions issues so am currentl y unable to use.

export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///$HOME/.docker/run/docker.sock seems to resolve the issue on Mac

Thanks for reporting this. We fixed Dev Environments to use the user's docker.sock by default.

I found this last comment in the other ticket #6531 (comment)
Could you have a look at your ~/.docker/config.json and see if you could remove the currentContext there?

Tried removing the currentContext which didn't work at all. @jonmelia solution had worked once then I had to restart and it just stopped working again. Only running these commands worked even after reinstalling. Might not be the correct solution but might help someone:

sudo ln -s "$HOME/.docker/run/docker.sock" /var/run/docker.sock
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /var/run/docker.sock
