Summary
When trying to build a connector locally on MAC using airbyte-ci, users may encounter an error connecting to the Docker daemon even when Docker is running. To resolve this, a symlink needs to be created for Docker in the System folder for airbyte-ci to locate it.
Question
if like me you were trying to build connector locally on MAC with airbyte-ci but were getting error connecting to Docker daemon whilst docker is running. You need to create a symlink for docker in System folder for airbyte-ci to find it “ln -s -f /Users/<user>/.docker/run/docker.sock /var/run/docker.sock”

I’m sorry, but the information extracts provided do not contain any details about creating a symlink for Docker in the System folder for airbyte-ci to find it. It’s important to ensure that the information provided is accurate and based on the available extracts. However, the extracts do provide some information on how to set up your local development environment for Airbyte on a Mac, build a connector image, and add a connector under development to Airbyte. You can refer to these resources for more information: - Setting up your local development environment for Airbyte - Adding a connector under development to Airbyte - Building a Source Connector If you’re still having trouble, it might be helpful to check the Airbyte documentation or ask for help in the Airbyte community.
