I have configured gitlab runner within kubernetes , which is not able to connect to docker daemon . Showing below error .

docker build --cache-from “${DOCKER_IMAGE_TAG}” -t “${DOCKER_IMAGE_TAG}” .

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running? ERROR: Job failed: command terminated with exit code 1
