ERROR: permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock

I got the following error when i run docker build in a workflow using the self hosted runner

ERROR: permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Head "http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/_ping": dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied

the container has a mounted volume to /var/run/docker.sock and still got this error

to fix this, i have added the following step in the pipeline before calling docker build

  - name: Give docker permissions
    run: sudo chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock

maybe some adjusts in the dockerfile for the gha-runner image fix this behaveiour
