I have installed docker on M1 chip in Rosatta mode and Docker daemon is also running. When I try to execute docker.from_env() in my python code I’m getting this error
“docker.errors.DockerException: Error while fetching server API version: (‘Connection aborted.’, FileNotFoundError(2, ‘No such file or directory’))”
Can someone help to resolve this issue? I tried reinstalling the docker multiple times and my docker is upto date also.
I think docker is not running or doesn’t have enough permissions.
If you are using Docker Desktop, try launching the application.
Check to see if the user running Python can use docker commands
Hello,
I have installed the same docker in M1 and I can make it work. please follow the below steps,
make sure you have docker installed on the system and verify
run
docker info

@alishah730 I have similar setup as yours in the info but the error persists.
Hi,
Under advanced settings check the case “Allow the default Docker socket to be used (requires password)”.
Thank you @zandolsi, that worked.
Hi @zandolsi
I am using Docker Desktop (v 4.25.0) on MacBook M1.
My docker deamon is running and I am getting the output as expected when I run docker info in command line. In “Advanced Settings” the option of “Allow the default Docker socket to be used (requires password)” is also checked.
But when I run the python example then I am getting the following error:
docker.errors.DockerException: Error while fetching server API version: (‘Connection aborted.’, FileNotFoundError(2, ‘No such file or directory’))
Any other idea that I can solve this issue ?
if you scroll up in the exception stack trace and see:
sock.connect(self.unix_socket)
urllib3.exceptions.ProtocolError: (‘Connection aborted.’, FileNotFoundError(2, ‘No such file or directory’))
then the python sdk cannot connect to the socket it uses to communicate with docker desktop. It can be fixed by running docker context ls and setting DOCKER_HOST through something like this:
export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///home/USERNAME/.docker/desktop/docker.sock
good luck!
Same error, setting DOCKER_HOME, setting Allow the default Docker socket to be used. Nothing works. Latest versions of everything.
OS: Sonoma 14.2
docker info
Server: Docker Desktop 4.26.1 (131620)
Engine:
Version: 24.0.7
FYI docker context ls does not work because the base install does not set PATH correctly.
export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Docker.app/Contents/Resources/bin
PLEASE HELP!

When I update my deocker desktop to the version 4.26.1 (131620) . the program works well.
Issue still occurs on Docker v4.30.0 on macOS v14.4.1 (23E224)
