Seems like the problem comes from docker-in-docker feature.

What I tried

• restarted my mac
• re-cloned the repo
• restarted docker-desktop and reset to factory default

Environment

• Macbook Pro M1
• MacOS 13.4
• docker-desktop 4.19.0
• docker buildx v0.10.4

just found the solution already. Basically you need to chown ~/.docker/buildx/activity/desktop-linux and restart docker.
