Is docker required to generate types for remote projects?

Wanted to try out type generation using the CLI from the announcement today. I'm running the following command

supabase gen types typescript --db-url MY_DB_URL

supabase gen types typescript --db-url MY_DB_URL

and I get the following message:

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

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

. I figured that docker is only needed for local projects but is it actually required for generating types for remote instances as well?
