Cannot connect to the Docker daemon when running Build Docker Image with buildx

[bdsl]

Orb version: 8.2.1

What happened:

https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/thebiggive/donate-frontend/4811/workflows/3738181b-a8b9-4aab-820e-a66a94f23b88/jobs/13715

and other recent workflows at https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/thebiggive/donate-frontend?branch=develop

We haven't made any changes to our config today, but we've started seeing this error when trying to run the docker build:

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

Exited with code exit status 1

I'm not sure if this is an issue with the orb or an infrstucture issue. But https://status.circleci.com/ and https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status are both green.

Expected behavior:

We should see a docker image being built and pushed, as happened at https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/thebiggive/donate-frontend/4804/workflows/aa367876-a81c-4783-946f-48df53deebdb/jobs/13687

Additional Information:

I tried upgrading the orb version from 8.1.3 to 8.2.1 but this doesn't seem to have had any affect. ( https://github.com/thebiggive/donate-frontend/pull/1424/files) . I also tried going to 9 but I think that has a BC break that affects us.

As we've just entered the last 24 hours of our big annual charity fundraising week, I'd be extremely grateful if anyone is able to take a look and suggest anything we can do or any fixes that can be made here so that we can get back in a position where we can deploy any changes to production quickly in case of any issues with our site.

Hi @bdsl, the aws-ecs-orb doesn't have such versions, please explain better where you face this problem, if it still happens.

I'm closing this as it doesn't seems related to this repo, please recreate in the right repo if you are still facing this issue.
