Mount docker socket into container on MacOS?

[metroid09]

Hey all,

I'm having trouble using a mounted docker socket in a container on MacOS when the containers docker user can't be root. I mount in the docker socket at /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock and when the socket gets mounted into the container it has the following permissions.

user@lima-rancher-desktop:~$ ls -alh /var/run/docker.sock 
srw-rw---- 1 root ssh 0 Jul 18 21:47 /var/run/docker.sock

I've tried adding the user both to the root and ssh group where I'm still getting dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied. If I run chmod 777 /var/run/docker.sock from inside the container as the root user then I am able to use docker commands without appending sudo.

Can anyone guide me to a way where I don't have to use sudo/root or chmod 777 to use the docker socket from inside the container? Thanks!
