How to access the 1Password socket in a container?

I use distrobox (that uses a container in the background) to set up my different dev settings. I also install e.g. Firefox into each distrobox (so e.g. I can leave tabs for this specific setup open). The problem is that I have to set up the 1Password extension every time I spin up a new distrobox container. So I did some research and found that 1Password should share the socket with /run/user/[ID]/1Password-BrowserSupport.sock. When I try to open this file I always get 1Password-BrowserSupport.sock: No such device or address. So I'm not sure why I see this file or if the daemon is running.

Anyway, this file is available in my distrobox container. I can even verify inside the container with ss -l that the 1Password service is listening. Still, inside my container the browser extension does not have any connection to the host daemon.

Any hints how to solve this?

Btw: on the host system the integration works fine.
