Getting message about docker wanting to create symlink every time I start Mac

(Almost) every time I start up my Mac, I get the the following message:

Docker Desktop wants to create /var/run/docker.sock symlink. Touch ID or enter your password to allow this.

enter image description here

Anybody knows how to get rid of this?

I allow it every time, but it keeps popping up every time I start up the Mac nonetheless.

Yeah i really advise not to use the suggested "workaround" above concerning "authDeclinedInstallSettings"

While everything seem to work normal at a first glance, i ended up this morning not beeing to able to build spring native images any more. Because of the builder complaining that in cannot open the socket / connection any more.

At first I was totally puzzled, until backtracking that i did this change a couple of days ago.

Reverted it and now everything is back to normal .. of course that the nagging prompt is back

There is an issue open: Docker asks to create a symlink after every OS restart. #6634

Response is "should be fixed in the next release". The workaround of editing ~/Library/Group\ Containers/group.com.docker/settings.json and setting "authDeclinedInstallSettings": false, to true worked for me.
