WebDriverManager: Impossible to pull image selenoid/vnc from inside docker - spock

Question

I have a Geb and Spock Maven project using WebDriverManager (using version 5.0.4-SNAPSHOT and selenium 3.141.159). I was successfully able to run tests using browser in docker option from my local Maven but it failed when trying to run inside a maven image:
docker run -t -v "$PWD":/usr/src -w /usr/src -v /mnt/c/m2repo:/m2repo maven:3.8.4-jdk-8 mvn test -B -e -Dmaven.repo.local=/m2repo -Dgeb.env=chrome_docker -Dtest=LoginDummySpec
with logs:
...

WebDriverManager wdm = WebDriverManager.chromedriver().browserInDocker()
if (enableVNC) {
wdm = wdm.enableVnc()
}
WebDriver driverInstance = wdm.capabilities(options).create()
driverInstance.manage().window().maximize()
driverInstance
}
}
any idea or options to use to make it work ? my goal is to create Jenkins pipeline

I was able to have it work by mounting /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock from Ubuntu:
docker run -t -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v "$PWD":/usr/src -w /usr/src -v /mnt/c/m2repo:/m2repo maven:3.8.4-jdk-8 mvn test -B -e -Dmaven.repo.local=/m2repo -Dgeb.env=chrome_docker -Dtest=LoginDummySpec
