Can't start Testcontainers Docker in Mac M1

I have a M1 Pro chip and I'm trying to run some integration tests via Testcontainers.

For this, I've installed Docker desktop, and every time I try to run the test containers container, almost instantly I receive the message panic: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

I have enabled in docker settings the Allow the default Docker socket to be used feature, which creates the /var/run/docker.sock file. I have rebooted my machine several times but it still doesn't work. Is there any solution to this?

Docker version: 4.21.1

Test containers image: ryuk:0.4.0

MacOS Ventura 13.4.1 under M1 Pro

On macOS, you typically install Docker using Docker Desktop (if it's your case). Ensure that Docker Desktop is running. If you forget to launch it, you might encounter the following error:

➜  ~ docker ps
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
