As alternative to Apple Containers, if anybody is still interested in using podman on MacOS (seems currently not supported by act as mentioned in https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/303) you may use my fork (at your own peril). Happy to PR if maintainers @ChristopherHX are open to it.

podman on MacOS

I just install podman Desktop + enable docker integration (as admin) => works flawless on macOS, no extra setup needed as /var/run/docker.sock get's created and consumed by act.

So you gave podman integration without using the docker api client a try? Probably more sustainable than docker/client, which may require a server version higher than the version where podman has forked docker in the future.

My primary act development from my side does not target nektos/act anymore, please look at my my github user profile for the variant of act I do development for
