System information

- Operating System:  macOS 
- Architecture:  x64 (64-bit)
- Apple M1:  no 
- Docker version: 20.10.8
- Docker image used in `act`: catthehacker/ubuntu:act-20.04
- `act` version: 0.2.24

Expected behaviour

be able to use job.container.image from private repo

Actual behaviour

When run on github runner functions as expected.

When using act I get the output below

DEBU[0000] Image exists? false
[Refresh Staging/sshh] pulling image 'rc.infludata.com:5000/ops/ansible' ()
DEBU[0000] Error response from daemon: Head "https://rc.infludata.com:5000/v2/ops/ansible/manifests/latest": no basic auth credentials

Workflow and/or repository

  sshh:
    # The type of runner that the job will run on
    runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
    container:
      image: rc.xxxx.com:5000/ops/ansible
      credentials:
        username: ****
        password: ****

Just wait, I read all notifications from this repo.
In case of your PR, you need to correct checking for container: key as you noticed yourself 🐱
