Ace Link does not respect docker contexts

[florius0]

RN docker socket is hardcoded:

acelink/Ace Link/Extensions/Process.swift

Line 21 in 0291aff

let userSocketPath = home.path + "/.docker/run/docker.sock"

Which may work for some docker runtimes, tho is not guaranteed to work in the future, or with the default one.

Much better solution would be to fetch the socket URI from user's docker configuration using docker context inspect:

[
    {
        "Name": "orbstack",
        "Metadata": {
            "Description": "OrbStack"
        },
        "Endpoints": {
            "docker": {
                "Host": "unix:///Users/.../.orbstack/run/docker.sock",
                "SkipTLSVerify": false
            }
        },
        "TLSMaterial": {},
        "Storage": {
            "MetadataPath": "/Users/.../.docker/contexts/meta/2d89b732b01a00a2d1675ed3cee9fd0f965daadf90603c989dd3afd4569c6896",
            "TLSPath": "/Users/.../.docker/contexts/tls/2d89b732b01a00a2d1675ed3cee9fd0f965daadf90603c989dd3afd4569c6896"
        }
    }
]

The URI is at [0]Endpoints.docker.host.

Related issues

Solving the problem in the described way will also likely solve the following issues:

• Latest version of Docker not detected if manually installed #76
• Cant run docker engine #73
• Use rancher desktop i.s.o. docker desktop #72
• Implement Orbstack compatibility with acelink (almost working) #69

Temporary Workaround

At the moment, one could symlink socket of runtime of their choice to ~/.docker/run/docker.sock, i.e. ln -s /Users/.../.orbstack/run/docker.sock ~/.docker/run/docker.sock.

PS
I request @blaise-io to pin the issue until fix is implemented, as it contains workaround

Note to self for when I pick this up: docker context inspect --format '{{.Endpoints.docker.Host}}'
