Docker context deadline exceeded with buildx

[kevinmyers]

I have a Docker Image that I'd like to create to run on different chip architectures. Following this guide, I am trying to run the first command to make a Docker builder:

docker buildx create --name mybuilder --bootstrap --use

When I run this, I get the following error:

ERROR: failed to initialize builder mybuilder (mybuilder0): Get "http://%2FUsers%2Fkevinmyers%2F.docker%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.46/containers/buildx_buildkit_mybuilder0/json": context deadline exceeded

I have no idea what this means, other than I can find on-line it means the command "took too long" basically. I know buildx is experimental, but I am not sure what to do next.

I'm running on a Mac (Intel Core i7, MacOS 14.6.1) with Docker Desktop v4.34.2 and Docker version 27.2.0.

I realized I needed to to have the containerd option enabled.
