Cannot connect to the Docker daemon via docker-sdk golang

Question

Docker is running, ContainerExecCreate creates a container, but ContainerExecAttach returns: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix: ///var/run/docker.sock in response. Is the docker daemon running?

What could be the problem.

It looks normal. May depend on the state of the docker at the time of the call. It is possible to check docker via Ping or just wait one second.
