"docker.errors.DockerException: Error while fetching server API version: ('Connection aborted.', FileNotFoundError(2, 'No such file or directory'))" Error in python

Docker Desktop for Mac

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

@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)”.
