[clamav-users] Docker Connection Refused on Host

ClamD setup in the docker container is:
	`/run/clamav/clamd.socket`

Which is bound to `/tmp/clamd.socket` on the host MacOS. 

The following works from inside of the container:
	`clamdtop ‘/run/clamav/clamd.socket’`

The following does not work on the host MacOS.
	`clamdtop ‘/tmp/clamd.socket’`
Producing this result:
	Connecting to: /tmp/clamd.socket 
	connect: Connection refused 
	Abnormal program termination: Unable to connect to all clamds in void setup_connections(int, char **) at line 1456

I have already checked permissions and both the docker container and the host user have access to `/tmp/clamd.socket`
