Serverless CICD with Lambda Container Images

Serverless Framework
1

Hi, using the functionality described at Container Image Support for AWS Lambda … but getting an error in Serverless CICD deploys (manual deploys work fine):
Are lambda containers not supported with Serverless CICD?

Serverless Error ----------------------------------------

Encountered error during executing: docker build -t serverless-st-dev:exportdownloaderimage -f /Sl-Dev/Dockerfile ./
Output of the command:
time=“2021-03-23T17:08:12Z” level=error msg=“failed to dial gRPC: cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is ‘docker daemon’ running on this host?: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: no such file or directory”

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

I had this same problem, 3.25 years later, and now I’ve found the answer I thought I’d share it here so any future googlers have not clicked in vain.

The answer is that you need to enable docker specifically on your CICD platform. For example, on CircleCI, this is the fix: https://support.circleci.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015849028-Docker-Daemon-Not-Available
