Thanks, very informative !!!
I installed docker on MacBook Pro about. a. week ago but didn't configure through the steps provided in this video. After installation, I tried to run it via VS. Code and I was having the following message: "Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?" I discovered. that I was not having a working installation. So this video really helped me to sort out that issue.
My installation tests worked. And as. per the issue mentioned above, vs code is currently opening my project in the container (and. downloading some files ...).

Great video, but please consider using CTRL+L for clearing your screen. This is a universal (Linux, macOS, Windows) clear screen command shortcut.
