I'm using docker-desktop on ubuntu18.04 and I run some containers successfully with it.
I try to use docker python client as client = docker.from_env() but it failed as follows:

I browsed the related solutions and found that my Unit docker.service seems not running. I also failed to start it.

However, I'm sure that my docker desktop works well and all containers are running normally.
I'm not sure whether it is caused by docker-desktop. How can I make the docker python client connect to my docker?
Set the $DOCKER_HOST solve this problem.
As mentioned in docker-py issue#3059:
With latest release of docker, the context of the
clientis changed fromdefaulttodesktop-linuxwhich uses different endpoint and therefore breaks the docker client.
Thus, execute following commands to set the correct $DOCKER_HOST can make docker python client works normally.
