          uses: container-tools/kind-action@v1.5.0
          with:

Ran into the same issue. That being said, it might be tricky to restart docker within docker ...

This should be possible with live-restore option but it would require user to configure it first or run act as root (sudo/doas/su)

@catthehacker commented on GitHub (Sep 15, 2021): This should be possible with [`live-restore`](https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/live-restore/) option but it would require user to configure it first or run `act` as root (`sudo`/`doas`/`su`)

The script that's being run is trying to restart docker via sudo service docker restart inside act's docker container catthehacker/ubuntu:act-20.04, which doesn't exist hence the error.
It's trying to restart Docker because it added an insecure registry to /etc/docker/deamon.json (the file doesn't even exists in act's docker container).
This is all because this action it thinks it's on the root machine and not in a docker container

Hi, thank for your feed back.

I did found a way around using registry: false and kind load image-archive

WDYT ?

yeah me too then in a step just before the kind-action something like:

    - name: Configure docker registry
      if: ${{ env.ACT }}
      run: |
        sudo mkdir -p /etc/kind-registry
        cat <<EOF | sudo dd status=none of=/etc/kind-registry/config.yaml
        kind: Cluster
        apiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4
        containerdConfigPatches:
        - |-
          [plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".registry.mirrors."${KIND_REGISTRY}"]
            endpoint = ["http://${KIND_REGISTRY}"]
        EOF
        sudo chmod a+r /etc/kind-registry/config.yaml

and after something like

    - name: Configure docker registry
      if: ${{ env.ACT }}
      run: |
        cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
        apiVersion: v1
        kind: ConfigMap
        metadata:
          name: local-registry-hosting
          namespace: kube-public
        data:
          localRegistryHosting.v1: |
            host: "${KIND_REGISTRY}"
            help: "https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/local-registry/"
        EOF

So that the kind cluster is setup to use your local registry.
