osx / first run: Docker event stream returned error: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at...

[meeech]

On first run, I was getting the error in the title. Using docker desktop for mac. Docker was running.

Solution I found:

the docker.sock was not in /var/run/docker.sock but in /Users/<username>/.docker/run/docker.sock so you can do

DOCKER_HOST=unix:///Users/<username>/.docker/run/docker.sock lazydocker.

if you prefer, it looks like ln -s will work as well

sudo ln -s /Users/<username>/.docker/run/docker.sock /var/run/docker.sock
