Bug report

Describe the bug

supabase cli cannot connect to the docker daemon started by colima

To Reproduce

Start docker via colima, run supabase start:

Supabase should start locally

Screenshots

Sample output from running the commands on my machine:

Seems like the issue is abiosoft/colima#144. The solution at the bottom works for me.
