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

Command used with act

$ act --container-daemon-socket="unix:///run/user/1000/docker.sock"
INFO[0000] Using docker host 'unix:///var/run/docker.sock', and daemon socket 'unix:///run/user/1000/docker.sock'

Describe issue

When passing docker socket on the command line, it gets ignored, and default is used instead.

If set via DOCKER_HOST environment variable, then it is picked up correctly.

I tested this with version 0.2.59 and that one works as expected, and the correct socket is used.

@bretdavi89 commented on GitHub (May 2, 2024):

Actually just noticing that in newer version, it's treating docker host/socket separately:
Using docker host 'unix:///var/run/docker.sock', and daemon socket 'unix:///run/user/1000/docker.sock'

So it is picking up the socket, but still trying to use the default one as well?

On the older version, simply passing the socket via the command line worked properly. Not sure why there are 2 variables for this
