I have a MacBook M1 and installed WebStorm 2022.2.3 and installed Docker plugin. Then I installed Docker Desktop for Apple Silicon.
The Docker Desktop is working fine but in my WebStorm I got an error when I try to build a .yaml file. The error is that WebStorm cannot connect to the Docker daemon.
I’ve searched for a solution for this error online but had no luck. I installed Brew and Rosetta 2 and the issue is the same.
Has anyone had this kind of issue? Oh, I did not mention that on my Windows laptop this feature works normally :-)

After trying lots of things I finally manage to get it worked. I completely removed the Docker Desktop, then install again Docker Desktop, and in the terminal run:
brew install docker-machine docker
After this it worked, and the WebStorm status is now 'Connection successfully'
CodePudding user response：
Docker Desctop for Apple Silicon seems to place the socket at a different place (in the users domain, not in system domain):
When Docker Desktop is not running, docker shows the error
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///Users/"your_username"/.docker/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
So there are two ways to solve the problem:
- configure TCP-Socket instead of "Docker for Mac"
- Symlink the expected system socket path to your personal socket
sudo ln -s /Users/your_username/.docker/run/docker.sock /var/run/
the later is only suitable if there is only a single user using Docker an a computer so Docker Desktop is always started by the same user.
There is no need to install another docker with brew.
