Docker Build Fails - Gitlab CI with GKE. Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at tcp://localhost:2375. Is the docker daemon running?

I Integrated Google Kubernetes Engine with my Gitlab repo and created a cluster from gitlab.
Now I am trying to build my docker image using gitlab-ci and push it to Google Container Registry.
But I keep getting this error:

This is my gitlab-ci.yml.

services:
- docker:dind

before_script:
  - apk update && apk upgrade && apk add --no-cache bash openssh
  
variables:
  DOCKER_DRIVER: overlay2

stages:
- build

build:
  stage: build
  image: docker:latest
  variables:
    DOCKER_HOST: tcp://localhost:2375
  before_script:
   # Pre-requisites required to install google cloud sdk on gitlab runner
   - export COMMIT_SHA=$(echo $CI_COMMIT_SHA | cut -c1-8)
   - apk update
   - apk upgrade
   - apk add --update ca-certificates
   - apk add --update -t deps curl
   - apk del --purge deps
   - rm /var/cache/apk/*
  script:
    # Build our image using docker
    - docker build -t $GCP_PROJECT_ID/$CI_PROJECT_NAME:$COMMIT_SHA .

    # Write our GCP service account private key into a file
    - echo $GCLOUD_SERVICE_KEY | base64 -d > ${HOME}/gcloud-service-key.json
    
    # Download and install Google Cloud SDK
    - wget https://dl.google.com/dl/cloudsdk/release/google-cloud-sdk.tar.gz
    - tar zxvf google-cloud-sdk.tar.gz && ./google-cloud-sdk/install.sh --usage-reporting=false --path-update=true
    
    # Update gcloud components
    - google-cloud-sdk/bin/gcloud --quiet components update

    # Give access to gcloud project
    - google-cloud-sdk/bin/gcloud auth activate-service-account --key-file ${HOME}/gcloud-service-key.json || die "unable to authenticate service account for gcloud"
    
    # Get current projects credentials to access it
    - google-cloud-sdk/bin/gcloud container clusters get-credentials gitlab-kube --zone cluster-zone --project project-id
    
    # Configure container registry to push using docker
    - docker login -u _json_key --password-stdin https://gcr.io < ${HOME}/gcloud-service-key.json

    # Push the image using docker
    - docker push $GCP_PROJECT_ID/$CI_PROJECT_NAME:$COMMIT_SHA

The docker image is building on local.
Also I saw on various posts to update the config.toml file but I dont have one in my project. Where to add that file?

Thanks
