How to: DOCKER DESKTOP
You may not have the default Unix socket (`/var/run/docker.sock`) configured if you use Docker Desktop. By default, Docker Desktop uses `~/.docker/run/docker.sock` as the Unix socket.

You can either use `--host` or `DOCKER_HOST` to point to the Docker Desktop's Unix socket or you can configure Docker Desktop to create the default/traditional Unix socket (creating the `/var/run/docker.sock` symlink manually is an option too).

To configure Docker Desktop to create the default Unix socket open its UI and go to `Settings -> Advanced` where you need to check the `Enable default Docker socket (Requires password)` option.
