Docker Desktop 4.13.0 default host provider issue on Mac

[tomaszmichalak]

Description

After installing the Docker Desktop 4.13.0 on Mac, I have an issue:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal io.fabric8:docker-maven-plugin:0.40.1:build (build-docker-image) on project ws-linux-box-distribution: Execution build-docker-image of goal io.fabric8:docker-maven-plugin:0.40.1:build failed: No <dockerHost> given, no DOCKER_HOST environment variable, no read/writable '/var/run/docker.sock' or '//./pipe/docker_engine' and no external provider like Docker machine configured -> [Help 1]

It is connected with changes in Docker Desktop 4.13.0 on Mac source:

By default Docker will not create the /var/run/docker.sock symlink on the host and use the docker-desktop CLI context instead.

/var/run/docker.sock is the default docker host url provider (DockerConnectionDetector.detectConnectionParameter).

Not a fix for the future, but they have reverted it in 4.13.1
