Description

Type: Bug

The extension can't find docker on my computer, I used Claude to try to fix it, it added a bunch of settings, but nothing works, I can't find the right settings to tell your extension where is installed docker. I can see docker if I run command on terminal, but your extension continue to show me the error
"Failed to connect, Is Docker installed?"
