After updating Ubuntu to 21.04 from 20.10 docker seems to be running in:

```
/run/docker.sock

```

but the docker client goes to look for it on:

```
/var/run/docker.sock

```

How can I fix this?

Elaborating a bit, running a docker command I get:

```
$ docker ps
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

```

But the docker service seems to be running with the docker socket in another location (out of `var`):

```
$ sudo systemctl status docker
